1. A computer-implemented method (CIM), comprising:
receiving, at an edge computing environment, internet of things (IoT) data generated by IOT devices in communication with the edge computing environment;
storing the IOT data in a data layer at the edge computing environment in response to receiving the IOT data;
using, at the edge computing environment, one or more inference models to:
classify the IOT data, and
generate labeled metadata for the classified IOT data;
using, at the edge computing environment, the labeled metadata to identify sections of the IOT data to remove from the data layer;
removing the identified sections of the IOT data from the data layer;
using, at the edge computing environment, the labeled metadata to identify portions of the IOT data to transmit to a cloud computing environment; and
sending copies of the identified portions of the IOT data to the cloud computing environment.
