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. An edge location 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 edge location to cause the launch of another compute instance.

Abstract: A dynamic routing information exchange protocol session is established between a protocol processing intermediary and an application pipeline function executor running at a virtualized computing service. During the session, the intermediary receives a message indicating reachability information of a pipeline function implemented by the executor, and causes an entry indicating the executor as a destination to be stored in a route table of the service. After the entry is stored, a request for the application function is directed to the executor using the entry.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments relating to an intersection of on-demand network slicing and content delivery. In one embodiment, in response to an application programming interface (API) request, a network slice is provisioned with a quality-of-service requirement in a radio-based network having a radio access network and an associated core network. Also in response to the API request, a transfer of content to a content delivery service at an edge location in the radio-based network is initiated in order to meet the quality-of-service requirement for the network slice.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments relating to cloud computing in communications service provider networks. In one embodiment, a message to launch a customer container is received at an edge location of a cloud provider network embedded within a communications service provider network. The message is received from a control plane service of the cloud provider network. The customer container is launched on a computer system of the edge location, where the computer system has capacity for executing customer containers. The edge location communicates with the cloud provider network at least partly via the communications service provider network. The customer container communicates with a mobile device via the communications service provider network.

Abstract: Techniques for utilizing dual-stack network addressing for compute instances hosted in an edge location of a cloud provider network along with communications service provider (CSP) network addresses are described. A first network address is assigned to the compute instance from a pool of network addresses of the cloud provider network, and a second network address is associated with the compute instance that is provided by the CSP network. A gateway of the edge location is updated to direct packets addressed to the second network address to the compute instance via use of the first network address.

In one embodiment, a first frequency scheme is selected instead of a second frequency scheme based at least in part on the first frequency scheme being capable of meeting a quality-of-service requirement associated with a wireless device or an application executed in the wireless device. A radio-based network is configured to provide service to the wireless device in a geographic area using the first frequency scheme instead of the second frequency scheme.

Abstract: A portion of a radio-based application (RBA) is executed at a first runtime environment (RTE) launched at a server. The first RTE includes a software program for processing messages between a pair of layers of the RBA. In response to determining that the portion of the RBA is to be executed at a second RTE, at least a subset of state information pertaining to the inter-layer messages is transferred to the second RTE without pausing the RBA. After the state information is transferred, the portion of the RBA is run at the second RTE.

In one embodiment, first data is transmitted to or from a first application in a particular computing device using a first network slice in a communications network. A request is sent from the particular computing device to configure a second network slice in the communications network based at least in part on a requirement of a second application. Second data is transmitted to or from the second application using the second network slice.
