1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
launching, by a control plane of a hardware virtualization service implemented in a region of a cloud provider network, a compute instance within an edge location of the cloud provider network that is separate from the region, wherein the edge location is connected to a core network of a cellular communications service provider (CSP) and implements data plane functionality for the hardware virtualization service;
associating a first network address with the compute instance, wherein the first network address is from a first pool of network addresses of the cloud provider network, whereby the compute instance can utilize the first network address to communicate privately with resources within the region without sending traffic via the public internet; and
associating a second network address with the compute instance, wherein the second network address is a public Internet Protocol (IP) address that allows user equipment devices to communicate with the compute instance via a radio access network provided by the cellular CSP.
