Abstract
Techniques for utilizing dual-stack network addressing for compute instances hosted in an edge location of a cloud provider network along with communications service provider (CSP) network addresses are described. A first network address is assigned to the compute instance from a pool of network addresses of the cloud provider network, and a second network address is associated with the compute instance that is provided by the CSP network. A gateway of the edge location is updated to direct packets addressed to the second network address to the compute instance via use of the first network address.
