The Cloud and Edge deployment model starts with the cloud components deployed on Azure to provide enterprise-level functionalities, such as complete enterprise view, business intelligence, and disaster recovery. In addition to cloud deployment, some operations such as retail and manufacturing can be deployed on the customer's infrastructure for business continuity or for integration with the local systems. From a production environment perspective, one can safely assume that it will be a hybrid scenario, where Microsoft is responsible for the production cloud components' infrastructure, while the customer manages the infrastructure for edge deployment at local data centers. LCS will still be a common tool, bringing both the worlds together to provide unified monitoring and application lifecycle management.
