Disclosed are various embodiments for managing radio-based private networks. In one embodiment, a request is received from an organization for a provider to provision a radio-based private network to cover a site of the organization. Equipment is preconfigured to implement the radio-based private network before shipping the equipment to the organization. A core network is provisioned for the organization.

Managing radio-based private networks

Generally disclosed herein is an approach for cloning virtual machines during live migration where one or more new copies of a virtual machine can be created while the original virtual machine continues to run. The new copies can preserve a processing state, memory state, and local storage state. The new copies can also be distinguished from each other and the original by including different attributes for each copy.

User triggered virtual machine cloning for recovery/availability/scaling

At a radio-based application pipeline processing server at which a portion of a distributed unit (DU) of a radio-based application is implemented, a particular networking hardware device is selected from among several devices (which include least one device incorporated within a network function accelerator card and at least one device which is not part of an accelerator card) for transmission of at least a portion of mid-haul traffic to a centralized unit (CU). The mid-haul traffic is transmitted to the CU via the selected device. At least a portion of front-haul traffic is transmitted to a radio unit (RU) via a networking hardware device incorporated within a network function accelerator card of the server.

Network traffic management at radio-based application pipeline processing servers

Respective network addresses are assigned to a networking hardware device and a network function accelerator incorporated within an offloading card of a virtualization server by a control plane server of a virtualized computing service. A compute instance is launched at the virtualization server using a virtualization controller of the offloading card. The compute instance executes a network function of a radio-based application in response to a request received using the network address assigned to the hardware device, and requests execution of a second network function at the accelerator. The result of the second network function is sent to a radio unit of the application using the address assigned to the accelerator.

Managing network function accelerators for radio-based applications from virtualized computing service control plane

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.

Dual-stack network addressing in cloud provider network edge locations

Disclosed are various embodiments for customer-managed authentication in radio-based networks. In one embodiment, a radio-based network is managed for an organization. The radio-based network includes a radio access network and an associated core network. A request is received from the organization to configure one or more parameters affecting primary keys in the associated core network. The primary keys correspond to pre-shared keys of client devices permitted to access the radio-based network. Storage of the primary keys is customized in the associated core network based at least in part on the one or more parameters in response to the request.

Customer-managed authentication for radio-based networks

Connectivity between a radio-based application pipeline processing server and a control plane of a provider network is verified. Based on requests received at the control plane, a first isolated request handler, a second isolated request handler and an offloading manager are launched at the server. The offloading manager causes a first network function for which a request is received from the first request handler to be executed at a first network function accelerator of the server, and a second network function for which a request is received from the second request handler to be executed at a second network function accelerator of the server.

Multi-tenant radio-based application pipeline processing system

A first extension resource group (ERG) of a provider network, comprising a radio-based application pipeline processing server with a network accelerator card, is configured at an external premise. A first set of network functions of a radio-based application is executed at the card. A second ERG is configured at the premise, and a second set of network functions of the radio-based application is executed at the second ERG.

Capacity management for radio-based applications

Disclosed are various embodiments for interfaces for creating radio-based private networks. In one embodiment, a request is received via an interface to create a radio-based private network for a customer. The request indicates a quantity of wireless devices that will connect to the radio-based private network. A quantity of radio units to serve the radio-based private network is determined based at least in part on the quantity of wireless devices. The radio units are preconfigured to implement a radio access network for the radio-based private network. A shipment is initiated to the customer of the radio units that have been preconfigured. Resources in a cloud provider network are provisioned to function as a core network for the radio-based private network.

Interfaces for creating radio-based private networks

Disclosed are various embodiments for scheduling use of heterogeneous frequency schemes for radio-based networks. 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.

Scheduling use of heterogeneous frequency schemes for radio-based networks

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.

Transparent migration of radio-based applications

Disclosed are various embodiments for on-demand application-driven network slicing. 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.

On-demand application-driven network slicing

Disclosed are various embodiments for extending cloud-based virtual private networks to radio-based networks. In one embodiment, a subnet of a virtual private cloud network of a cloud provider network is created in a radio-based network. An identifier of a subscriber identity module of a client device is registered in the virtual private cloud network. The subscriber identity module is assigned to a security group of the virtual private cloud network. A request from the client device to connect to the radio-based network is received, and the request presents the identifier. The virtual private cloud network to which the client device is permitted access is determined. The client device is provided with access to a resource on the virtual private cloud network through the radio-based network.

Extending cloud-based virtual private networks to radio-based networks

Disclosed are various embodiments for provisioning radio-based networks with locality rules. In one embodiment, at least one locality rule associated with an organization is accessed. The locality rule(s) require that at least a subset of network traffic for a radio-based network remain within a particular geographic area. The radio-based network includes a radio access network and an associated core network. A topology for the radio-based network is determined based at least in part on the locality rule(s). The radio-based network is provisioned or reconfigured for the organization to have the topology complying with the at least one locality rule.

Provisioning radio-based networks with locality rules

Disclosed are various embodiments for using unmanned vehicles to manage radio-based network infrastructure. In one embodiment, an unmanned vehicle is instructed to deliver a radio unit to a location to add coverage to a radio-based network.
