Secure virtual private mobile and IP network in cloud

A circuitry in a cloud platform for implementing a software-defined and virtualized mobile core and data routing network, the circuitry being configured to implement:

• a first set of instances of cloud containers configured to receive data from a wireless terminal device via a radio access network;
• a second set of instances of cloud containers configured to perform a set of mobile core network functions by processing the data received by the first set of instances of cloud containers from the radio access network;
• a third set of instances of cloud containers;
• and
• a set of multilevel virtual routers,
• wherein the circuitry is further configured to implement the third set of instances of cloud containers as packet gateways for routing the data processed by the second set of instances of cloud containers to the multilevel virtual routers;
• wherein the circuitry is further configured to implement the multilevel virtual routers to route the data received at the multilevel virtual routers;
• and
• wherein the circuitry is further configured to implement each of the cloud containers to perform one or more mobile core functions and with an adjustable number of cloud instances in the first set of instances, the second set of instances, or the third set of instances according to a service volume level of the one or more mobile core functions.
