    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.
