Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for managing computing capacity in radio-based networks and associated core networks. In one embodiment, it is determined that a set of computing hardware implementing a radio-based network for a customer has an excess capacity. At least one action is implemented to reallocate the excess capacity of the computing hardware.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- at least one computing device;
- and
- instructions executable in the at least one computing device, wherein when executed the instructions cause the at least one computing device to at least:
- allocate a set of edge computing hardware for operation of a radio-based network for a customer;
- monitor usage of computing capacity of the set of edge computing hardware by software of the radio-based network and at least one customer workload;
- determine from the usage that a metric associated with at least one of:
- the at least one customer workload or the software of the radio-based network meets a threshold;
- generate an alert for the customer in response to the metric meeting the threshold;
- and
- based at least in part on one or more priorities set by the customer that indicate that the at least one customer workload has a higher priority than the software of the radio-based network:
- reallocate at least a portion of the computing capacity from the software of the radio-based network to the at least one customer workload, wherein reallocating the at least a portion of the computing capacity further comprises:
- terminating on the edge computing hardware a first workload corresponding to at least a portion of the software of the radio-based network;
- and
- launching on the edge computing hardware a second workload corresponding to the at least one customer workload;
- and
- transfer execution of at least a portion of the software of the radio-based network from the edge computing hardware to region computing hardware in a region of a cloud provider network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a capacity management service executable in at least one computing device, wherein when executed the capacity management service causes the at least one computing device to at least:
- allocate a set of edge computing hardware for operation of a radio-based network for a customer;
- monitor usage of computing capacity of the set of edge computing hardware by software of the radio-based network and at least one customer workload;
- determine from the usage that a metric associated with at least one of:
- the at least one customer workload or the software of the radio-based network meets a threshold:
- generate an alert for the customer in response to the metric meeting the threshold;
- and
- based at least in part on one or more priorities set by the customer that indicate that the at least one customer workload has a higher priority than the software of the radio-based network:
- reallocate at least a portion of the computing capacity from the software of the radio-based network to the at least one customer workload, wherein reallocating the at least a portion of the computing capacity further comprises:
- terminating on the edge computing hardware a first workload corresponding to at least a portion of the software of the radio-based network;
- and
- launching on the edge computing hardware a second workload corresponding to the at least one customer workload;
- and
- transfer execution of at least a portion of the software of the radio-based network from the edge computing hardware to region computing hardware in a region of a cloud provider network.
