1. A method of smart log shipping in a heterogeneous computing environment, executable by a processor, comprising:
identifying a first edge device, a second edge device, and a third edge device in a heterogeneous cloud computing environment, wherein the first edge device is stationary and the third edge device is moving;
identifying a current location and a direction of travel of the third edge device;
in response to determining the direction of travel is moving toward the first edge device, alerting both the first edge device and the third edge device;
causing the first edge device to collect log data associated with the first edge device and to identify a relevant portion of the collected log data, wherein the relevant portion comprises latest log data of a latest day;
causing the first edge device to transmit the relevant portion of the collected log data to the third edge device based on a lack of network connectivity between the first edge device and both a cloud data center and the second edge device, and also based on the direction of travel moving toward the first edge device;
causing the third edge device to transmit the collected log data to the second edge device based on the third edge device moving within a proximity of the second edge device; and
receiving, at the cloud data center, the transmitted collected log data from the second edge device.
