How are cloud, hardware and edge computing integrated in Walmart’s network architecture?

Walmart explains that their network architecture blends cloud, hardware and edge computing so that each part plays a strategic role:
The cloud provides scale and flexibility for large-volume services and global operations.
The hardware (routers, switches, access points) is the physical foundation connecting stores, devices and systems worldwide.
The edge computing layer brings compute resources closer to the stores and supply chain locations, reducing latency and handling real-time critical applications (like inventory management and in-store systems).
Together, these layers are orchestrated to give Walmart a mission-critical, resilient, and real-time backbone for its global retail operations.
