Abstract
A control plane server of a virtualized computing service determines that connectivity is to be established between a first portion and a second portion of a distributed application. The first portion runs at a first edge location of a provider network, and the second portion runs at a second edge location. The control plane server transmits metadata associated with the second edge location to a connectivity manager at the first edge location. The metadata is used to establish a secure network channel between the connectivity manager and the second edge location. A message from the first portion of the distributed application is sent to the second portion via the channel.
