A method for reducing latency in providing services from a cloud computing system , the method comprising: determining , at a service hosted in the cloud-computing system at a first time, a first prefix-connection location of a border gateway protocol, BGP, prefix, wherein the first prefix-connection location is a location within the cloud-computing system where traffic from the BGP prefix enters the cloud-computing system at the first time, wherein the BGP prefix represents a collection of Internet Protocol addresses, and wherein determining the first prefix-connection location comprises: querying the first prefix-connection location; and receiving, from the first prefix-connection location, information indicating that the first prefix-connection location receives the traffic; determining , at the service at a second time, a second prefix-connection location of the BGP prefix, wherein the second prefix-connection location is a location within the cloud-computing system where traffic from the BGP prefix enters the cloud-computing system at the second time, wherein determining the second prefix-connection location comprises: querying the second prefix-connection location; and receiving, from the second prefix-connection location, information indicating that the second prefix-connection location receives the traffic; comparing , at the service, the second prefix-connection location with the first prefix-connection location; and determining , at the service, whether to move a container that services the BGP prefix based on the comparison. determining , at a service hosted in the cloud-computing system at a first time, a first prefix-connection location of a border gateway protocol, BGP, prefix, wherein the first prefix-connection location is a location within the cloud-computing system where traffic from the BGP prefix enters the cloud-computing system at the first time, wherein the BGP prefix represents a collection of Internet Protocol addresses, and wherein determining the first prefix-connection location comprises: querying the first prefix-connection location; and receiving, from the first prefix-connection location, information indicating that the first prefix-connection location receives the traffic; querying the first prefix-connection location; and receiving, from the first prefix-connection location, information indicating that the first prefix-connection location receives the traffic; determining , at the service at a second time, a second prefix-connection location of the BGP prefix, wherein the second prefix-connection location is a location within the cloud-computing system where traffic from the BGP prefix enters the cloud-computing system at the second time, wherein determining the second prefix-connection location comprises: querying the second prefix-connection location; and receiving, from the second prefix-connection location, information indicating that the second prefix-connection location receives the traffic; querying the second prefix-connection location; and receiving, from the second prefix-connection location, information indicating that the second prefix-connection location receives the traffic; comparing , at the service, the second prefix-connection location with the first prefix-connection location; and determining , at the service, whether to move a container that services the BGP prefix based on the comparison. <EOS>
