I find myself constantly referring to this term in the context of edge data centers. I would like to have an official definition that is edge-relevant that I can point to.

Entry added with this content:

In the context of edge computing, the act of sending personnel to an edge computing location, such as to an edge data center, typically to resolve or troubleshoot a detected issue. Such locations are often remote and operate for the majority of the time remotely, without onsite personnel. This makes the cost or other practical considerations of truck rolls a potential concern for edge computing operators.
