User-configured multi-location service deployment and scaling

Abstract:

Techniques are described for a location-aware service-oriented application deployment management ("SOADM") service that abstracts the complexities of deploying distributed applications in a cloud provider network providing many possible deployment zones of one or multiple types. These deployment zone types can include traditional cloud provider regions and availability zones as well as so-called edge locations (e.g., cloud provider operated edge locations, customer-operated edge locations, third-party operated edge locations, communications service provider (CSP) associated edge locations). The SOADM service enables users to create service group configurations representing a service-oriented application, including its constituent services and dependent resources, and specify distribution strategies for deploying and/or redistributing application services and resources, among other configurations. Using such configurations, the SOADM service automatically deploys and scales simple or complex, single or multi-service applications for users across any number of deployment zones and deployment zone types.
