Architecting Geo-Distributed Mobile Edge Application With Consul
summary
Architecture ties Amazon EKS, AWS Wavelength, HashiCorp Consul and the Verizon 5G network to run geo-distributed Kubernetes workloads with edge-aware routing and service resolvers as CRDs. A video-editing workflow and a Hashicups demo run across multiple wavelength zones (19 US locations) and keep editor round‑trip latency under ~20 ms so editors see no skipped frames — a result described as surprisingly good. Consul enforces deterministic local‑first routing and region failover.
