"Edge Cloud" is a confusing term #51

The term Edge Cloud, to most people, would be an oxymoron. I also think that cloud-like elastic capabilities are bound to be available with all shared infrastrucuture edge platforms so the concept itself also adds little value to the glossary.

The fact that it can be seen as an oxymoron is why it's defined in the glossary. I believe this term is valuable to define in the context of edge computing.
