Abstract: A server system receives a group operation request transmitted by a client. The group operation request is generated by the client in response to a trigger operation of a target group chat function, and includes a target identity and a target group chat function identifier.

Abstract: Techniques for managing latency of communications between compute instances and mobile devices are described. A message including an indication of a mobility event associated with a mobile device of a communications service provider network is received. The mobility event indicates a change in a connection point of the mobile device to the communications service provider network from a from a first access point to a second access point. A communications delay of at least a portion of a network path between the mobile device and a compute instance via the second access point is determined to not satisfy a latency constraint. A second provider substrate extension of the cloud provider network that satisfies the latency constraint for communications with the mobile device via the second access point is identified, and a message is sent to the second provider substrate extension to cause the launch of another compute instance.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to hostname pre-localization. In examples, a service uses a content distribution network (CDN) to provide at least a part of the computing functionality associated with the service. A pre-localized hostname may be used to direct the client computing device to a specific edge server of the CDN that is associated with the computing functionality. In examples, a service receives an initiation request from a client computing device for the computing functionality provided by the CDN. The service generates a pre-localization request comprising pre-localization information and provides the pre-localization request to the CDN. Accordingly, the CDN generates a pre-localized hostname associated with an edge server based on the pre-localization information. The pre-localized hostname is provided to the service, which is then provided to the client computing device, thereby directing the client computing device to the specific edge server of the CDN.

Abstract: A system for establishing a network communication between two or more users receives a request to establish a call between an endpoint device associated with a user and user equipment (UE) associated with a client.
