Today, AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) announces support of AWS Outposts racks. With this launch, you can now set your data replication and recovery destinations to AWS Outposts racks, in addition to using AWS Regions and Availability Zones where AWS DRS is available.

AWS DRS minimizes downtime and data loss with fast, reliable recovery of on-premises and cloud-based applications using affordable storage, minimal compute, and point-in-time recovery. With AWS Outposts, a family of fully managed solutions delivering AWS infrastructure and services to virtually any on-premises or edge location for a truly consistent hybrid experience, you can run some AWS services locally and connect to a broad range of services available in the local AWS Region. With this change, you can get the same functionality of AWS DRS while creating the AWS resources required to operate the replication or recovery inside your AWS Outposts racks, keeping these resources within your premises.

This new capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DRS is available. See the AWS Regional Services List for the latest availability information.
