cloudlet
Small sky tuft
A cloudlet is a small cloud, typically a wisp or puff detached from larger cloud formations: Cloudlets drifted across the otherwise clear sky.
In computing, a cloudlet is a small-scale data center positioned at the network edge to reduce latency for mobile devices—a localized, lightweight version of cloud infrastructure.
