Control instance placement using Asset Level Capacity Management for AWS Outposts

AWS Outposts supports self-service capacity management at the entire Outpost level, or at the individual asset level, making it easy for you to view and manage compute capacity on your Outposts. The release of Asset Level Capacity Management allows you to control the configuration of specific assets within your Outpost, which can be useful when planning strategies for EC2 Auto Scaling groups and host-level high availability. This post focuses on how to use Asset Level Capacity Management to perform single-host reconfigurations, and how this can be used with Amazon EC2 placement groups to control instance placement on your Outpost.
