Simplify Your Hybrid IT Operations with AWS Outposts

• AWS

AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that brings AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to your data center, colocation space, or on-premises facility for a truly consistent hybrid experience. 1. What is AWS Outposts? If you ask someone to describe an outpost, they might detail a historic outpost of the American frontier, like Fort Sedgewick in Dances with Wolves. AWS Outposts is a great name for the product. Launched at the re:Invent 2018, AWS Outposts is a single rack, exact replica of what AWS runs in their own data centers and delivers a fully managed, consistent hybrid cloud experience. AWS will actually visit your data center or colocation facility, install the Outposts hardware and configure it to connect back to the nearest AWS Region. Once configured, the Outposts is managed, monitored, and updated by AWS just like in the cloud.
