Exploring AWS Outposts use cases

AWS Outposts rack offers the same AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any on-premises data center or colocation space for a truly consistent hybrid experience. AWS Outposts rack is ideal for workloads that require low-latency access to on-premises systems, local data processing, data residency, and the migration of applications with local system interdependencies.

Benefits of AWS Outposts racks

Streamline developer workflows by standardizing on a common set of APIs, continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and tools across AWS Regions and on-premises environments.

Build once, deploy anywhere—rapidly scale production environments globally with consistent AWS infrastructure and cloud operations.

Extend the security benefit of the AWS Nitro System on-premises. Leverage the same governance policies and security controls wherever your applications need to run.

Reduce the time, resources, operational risk, and maintenance downtime required for managing IT infrastructure.
