Claim 8:
9. A system comprising:
a first one or more electronic devices in a first network that executes a control plane component to at least partially manage edge locations that are physically separate from the first network, wherein the edge locations are adapted to execute containers for one or more customers, and wherein the control plane component comprises instructions that when executed by the first one or more electronic devices cause the control plane component to:
receive a profile created by a customer including one or more constraints for use in identifying where an application is to be deployed;
determine to launch a customer container at a first edge location of the edge locations based at least in part due to the first edge location satisfying the one or more constraints of the profile, wherein the first edge location is embedded within a cellular communications service provider network;
transmit, to the first edge location, a message to launch the customer container;
determine to launch a second customer container at a second edge location of the edge locations based at least in part due to the second edge location satisfying the one or more constraints of the profile; and
transmit, to the second edge location, a message to launch the second customer container, whereby a second computing system at the second edge location also obtains a container image specified by the customer and launches the second customer container based on the container image; and

a second one or more electronic devices of the first edge location, wherein the second one or more electronic devices are embedded within a cellular communications service provider network and include instructions that when executed by the second one or more electronic devices cause the second one or more electronic devices to:
launch the customer container, wherein the second one or more electronic devices obtain the container image specified by the customer that is stored outside the first edge location and launch the customer container based on the container image, and wherein the customer container communicates with a mobile device of a subscriber to the cellular communications service provider network via the cellular communications service provider network.
