AWS Outposts servers offer HA through the use of redundant power equipment that can be paired with dual customer-provided power sources for even greater resilience. Power is critical to any compute resource but network connectivity is also critical for Outposts deployments as management, monitoring, and service operations need connectivity to the anchor AZ. However, Outposts […]
Multiple approaches are possible to ensure the appropriate level of availability for a customer’s use case. HA within a deployment All AWS Outposts Rack deployments offer local HA through the use of redundant networking and power equipment. This redundant Outposts equipment can be paired with dual customer-provided power sources and redundant network connectivity for even […]
AWS Outposts Rack deployments can host the following instance types: M5/M5d for general-purpose workloads C5/C5d for compute-intensive workloads R5/R5d for memory-optimized workloads G4dn for graphics-optimized workloads I3en for I/O optimized workloads: Figure 5.11 – Deploying an EC2 instance to a subnet within an Outposts deployment AWS has plans to begin offering EC2 VT1 instances for […]
When an Outposts rack requires physical maintenance or hardware replacement, AWS works with the customer to schedule AWS personnel to come to the facility and replace the hardware. Customers can use the provided Nitro Security Key to cryptographically shred data according to NIST standards before returning it to AWS. Logical networking Now that we’ve covered […]
Customers can choose options such as storage such as Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) gp2 volumes and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), compute options such as EC2 instance type configurations, or other services that might impact the physical configuration, such as Relational Database Services (RDS). The payment options include fully upfront, partially upfront, and monthly […]
The original AWS Outposts service was introduced in 2019. It is best thought of as an extension of an existing AWS region into an on-premises data center. AWS Outposts was developed due to customers’ desire to expand their use of AWS’ cloud-based services while operating under constraints associated with latency or regulatory/compliance regimes that dictate […]
AWS Snowball and AWS Snowball Edge are physically large devices. They both weigh around 50 lbs (~23 kg) and are comparable in size to a suitcase. While functionally similar to the AWS Snowball Edge service, AWS Snowcone comes in a much smaller form factor. AWS Snowcone is best suited for migrations of smaller amounts of […]
