Distributed Cloud is a model in which a public-cloud provider's services run in multiple physical locations — the provider's own regions, edge sites, colocation facilities and the customer's premises — while remaining centrally managed and operated by the provider. It brings cloud capabilities closer to where data is generated for latency, residency or bandwidth reasons, blurring the line between cloud and edge.
