What is AWS Outposts?

AWS Outposts is an all-encompassing managed service designed to bring AWS’s infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools to virtually any data center, colocation facility, or on-premises environment, thereby providing a fluid hybrid cloud experience. This solution is ideal for applications that require minimal latency when accessing local systems, processing data on-site, meeting data residency mandates, and supporting the migration of applications reliant on local infrastructure. With AWS compute, storage, databases, and more functioning locally on Outposts, users can leverage the entire range of AWS services available in their geographical area to create, manage, and improve their on-premises applications using the familiar AWS toolkit. Furthermore, a VMware variant of AWS Outposts is anticipated to be released soon, offering a fully managed VMware Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) that runs directly on the AWS Outposts infrastructure at customer sites. This forthcoming product aims to merge the flexibility of VMware’s offerings with the strength of AWS’s infrastructure, enabling organizations to refine their cloud strategies more effectively. As businesses increasingly seek to integrate their cloud and on-premises environments, the introduction of this service could significantly enhance operational efficiency and responsiveness.
