For ex - -- ample, a method includes selecting, by at least one of a plurality of edge computing systems co-located within respective co-location L 1 1:= facilities each deployed and managed by a single co-location facility provider, a selected edge computing system of the plurality of ei edge computing systems to process data associated with events generated by an IoT device. The method also includes provisioning, 0 at the selected edge computing system, an application programming interface (API) endpoint for communication with the IoT device, receiving, by the selected edge computing system at the endpoint, the data associated with the events generated by the IoT device, and processing, by the selected edge computing system, the data associated with the events generated by the IoT device.
