Container mobility based on border gateway protocol prefixes

A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by one or more processors to cause a computing system to:

• query, at a first time, a first location in a cloud-computing system;
• receive, from the first location in response to the query at the first time, first information indicating that traffic serviced by a container enters the cloud-computing system at the first location;
• query, after the first time, a second location;
• receive, from the second location in response to the query after the first time, second information indicating that the traffic enters the cloud-computing system at the second location;
• determine, based on the second information, that the traffic enters the cloud-computing system at the second location;
• and
• determine whether to move the container based on determining that the traffic enters the cloud-computing system at the second location.

A system for reducing latency in providing services from a cloud-computing system, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory in electronic communication with the one or more processors;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the one or more processors to:
• query, at a first time, a first location in the cloud-computing system;
• receive, from the first location, first information indicating that traffic serviced by a container enters the cloud-computing system at the first location, wherein the container is located at the first location;
• query, after the first time, a second location different from the first location;
• receive, from the second location, second information indicating that the traffic enters the cloud-computing system at the second location;
• determine, based on the second information, that the traffic enters the cloud-computing system at the second location;
• and
• migrate, in response to determining that the traffic enters the cloud-computing system at the second location, the container to the second location.
