1. A system, comprising:
a radio-based application management coordinator of a cloud provider network; and
a plurality of mobile private network (MPN) implementation servers, including an MPN implementation server comprising a pluggable card, wherein the pluggable card includes a set of chips for executing at least (a) a first network function of a radio unit (RU) of a radio access network (RAN) node of a radio-based technology stack and (b) a second network function of a distributed unit (DU) of the RAN node;
wherein the radio-based application management coordinator is configured to:
receive, from a client of the cloud provider network via a programmatic interface, an MPN requirement descriptor comprising performance requirements of an MPN to be implemented at least in part at a location external to the cloud provider network;
transmit, to the client, a recommended deployment configuration for implementing at least a portion of the MPN, wherein the recommended deployment configuration is generated based at least in part on analysis of the MPN requirement descriptor, and wherein the recommended deployment configuration comprises the MPN implementation server;
verify, after the recommended deployment configuration has been approved by the client and the MPN implementation server has been powered on at the location, that connectivity has been established between the MPN implementation server and a remote monitoring service of the cloud provider network; and
cause a set of metrics collected by the remote monitoring service from the MPN implementation server to be presented to the client; and
wherein the MPN implementation server is configured to:
receive a message from a user equipment (UE) device of the MPN;
execute a set of network functions of the MPN with respect to the message, without transmitting a data payload of the message to the cloud computing environment, wherein the set of network functions includes the first network function executed at the pluggable card, the second network function executed at the pluggable card, a third network function of a centralized unit (CU) of the RAN node, and a fourth network function of a user plane function (UPF) layer of a core network of the radio-based technology stack.
