    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for flexible maintenance windows for performing maintenance for instances. Using techniques described herein, a user of a service provider network may specify configuration data that relates to maintenance events of instances. A “maintenance event” is any event that relates to deploying instances and/or at least temporarily losing use of an instance. For example, a maintenance event may cause an instance to be deployed, re-booted, re-started, or replaced. According to some configurations, customers may specify one or more maintenance event windows for when maintenance is to be performed, as well as customize notifications that are provided to the customer about scheduled maintenance events. For instance, customers may create a maintenance window that specifies to perform maintenance on Tuesdays, between 2 AM-3 AM, and that notifications are to include information specified by the customer (e.g., through one or more tags).

    Abstract: Various techniques for emulating edge locations in cloud-based networks are described. An example method includes generating an emulated edge location in a region. The emulated edge location can include one or more first computing resources in the region. A host in the region may launch a virtualized resource a portion of the one or more first computing resources. Output data that was output by the virtualized resource in response to input data can be received and reported to a user device, which may provide a request to migrate the virtualized resource to a non-emulated edge location. The non-emulated edge location may include one or more second computing resources that are connected to the region by an intermediary network. The virtualized resource can be migrated from the first computing resources to at least one second computing resource in the non-emulated edge location.
