    Abstract: Techniques for reducing latency between resources of a cloud provider network and end user devices are described. In one embodiment, a system includes a cloud provider network including a first control plane service to manage customer compute instances hosted on resources of the cloud provider network. The system further includes a first provider substrate extension of the cloud provider network connected to a first communications service provider network. The first provider substrate extension includes a first computer system having capacity for executing customer compute instances, is controlled at least in part by the first control plane service via a connection through at least a portion of the first communications service provider network, executes at least a first customer compute instance using the first computer system, wherein the first customer compute instance communicates with a first mobile computer system connected via the first communications service provider network.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling users of a service provider network to create and configure “application profiles” that include parameters related to execution of user workloads at provider substrate extensions. Once an application profile is created, users can request the deployment of user workloads to provider substrate extensions by requesting instance launches based on a defined application profile. The service provider network can then automate the launch and placement of the user's workload at one or more provider substrate extensions using edge-optimized compute instances (e.g., compute instances tailored for execution within provider substrate extension environments). In some embodiments, once such edge-optimized instances are deployed, the service provider network can manage the auto-resizing of the instances in terms of various types of computing resources devoted to the instances, manage the lifecycle of instances to ensure maximum capacity availability at provider substrate extension locations, and perform other instance management processes.
