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.
