AWS Outposts

• Hybrid Cloud: businesses that keep an on- premises infrastructure alongside a cloud infrastructure

• Therefore, two ways of dealing with IT systems:

  • One for the AWS cloud (using the AWS console, CLI, and AWS APIs)

  • One for their on-premises infrastructure

• AWS Outposts are “server racks” that offer the same AWS infrastructure, services, APIs & tools to build your own applications on-premises just as in the cloud

• AWS will set and manage “Outposts Racks” within your on-premises infrastructure and you can start leveraging AWS services on-premises

• You are responsible for the Outposts Rack physical security

• Benefits:

  • Low-latency access to on-premises systems

  • Local data processing

  • Data residency

  • Easier migration from on-premises to the cloud

  • Fully managed service
