AWS Outposts

AWS-managed infrastructure and selected services placed in a customer site for low-latency or local-processing requirements.

Key points

  • Choose it only when on-premises locality, data residency, or local dependency is hard; capacity and connectivity planning remain customer concerns.

Best-known use cases

  • Run AWS-compatible workloads near on-premises systems.

What candidates often confuse it with

  • Outposts extends AWS infrastructure on premises; Direct Connect only supplies connectivity and Snow devices fit disconnected edge use.

Key takeaway

Choose Outposts for hard on-premises locality with an AWS operating model.
