       people are talking about using ec2 instances for isp edge routers, how's that possible?..

       @leip4Ier SDN maybe? Like, the data plane is still on the ISP's premises, but the control plane is running in EC2... still, you'd have to somehow pass control data from the data plane to EC2 and back without relying on your own bgp sessions being in a working condition...

       @leip4Ier that sounds insane but yes, you could.

       @wolf480pl huh, didn't know it was a thing. but yeah, it must require some v complicated configuration, so i don't see why would anyone want that!

       @leip4Ier there's definitely been a movement to deploy small clouds at edge locations, for lower latency/lower upstream bandwidth use. so it could be something to do with that?

       @leip4Ier SDN or, depending on how you want to stretch the definitions, proxies I wager. Take a look at something like zerotier, for instance--SDN made easy.The only downside for general browsing use is it's best practice for services to block client traffic from AWS since it shouldn't typically be an originator of web browsing. I don't think that's widespread though.

       @Odd_Bloke i don't think this is what they're talking about bc they talked about connecting to aws, but the technology itself is interesting, thanks for sharing!

       @leip4IerOh, so maybe they want to peer with Amazon and only the Amazon-facing routers will be imon ec2, and all the other routers are elsewhere?@Odd_Bloke
