Key aspects of distributed infrastructure include:

1. Geographical distribution: Resources are spread across different physical locations.

2. Decentralization: Processing and decision-making occur at various points in the network rather than at a single central point.

3. Scalability: Easily expandable by adding more nodes or locations to the network.

4. Redundancy: Improved fault tolerance as the failure of one component doesn't bring down the entire system.

5. Reduced latency: Services can be provided closer to end-users, improving performance.

6. Load balancing: Work can be distributed across multiple nodes to optimize resource utilization.

This approach is commonly used in cloud computing, content delivery networks (CDNs), edge computing, and modern microservices architectures. It offers benefits like improved reliability, performance, and scalability compared to traditional centralized systems.
