When you deploy AWS Outposts racks, you can run AWS infrastructure and services in on-premises locations. Maintaining seamless connectivity, both to the AWS Region and your on-premises network, is fundamental to delivering consistent, uninterrupted service to your applications. Implementing an observability strategy that uses available network metrics is key to understanding the health of this […]

Organizations using AWS Outposts racks commonly manage capacity from a single AWS account and share resources through AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM) with other AWS accounts (consumer accounts) within AWS Organizations. In this post, we demonstrate one approach to create a multi-account serverless solution to surface costs in shared AWS Outposts environments using Amazon […]

This post is part 3 of the three-part series ‘Enabling high availability of Amazon EC2 instances on AWS Outposts servers’. We provide you with code samples and considerations for implementing custom logic to automate Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) relaunch on Outposts servers. This post focuses on guidance for using Outposts servers with third party storage for boot […]

AWS now supports multiple local gateway (LGW) routing domains on AWS Outposts racks to simplify network segmentation. Network segmentation is the practice of splitting a computer network into isolated subnetworks, or network segments. This reduces the attack surface so that if a host on one network segment is compromised, the hosts on the other network segments are not affected. Many customers in regulated industries such as manufacturing, health care and life sciences, banking, and others implement network segmentation as part of their on-premises network security standards to reduce the impact of a breach and help address compliance requirements.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) on AWS Outposts brings the power of managed Kubernetes to your on-premises infrastructure. Use Amazon EKS on Outposts rack to create hybrid cloud deployments that maintain consistent AWS experiences across environments. As organizations increasingly adopt edge computing and hybrid architectures, storage optimization and performance tuning become critical for successful workload deployment.

AWS re:Invent 2025 returns to Las Vegas, Nevada, from December 1–5, 2025. This year, we’re offering a comprehensive lineup of sessions and booth activities to help you build resilient, performant, and scalable applications wherever you need them—in the cloud, on premises, or at the edge.

In this post, we explore the architecture considerations that come into play when deciding between a multi-rack logical Outposts rack, or using multiple Outposts racks to support your highly available workloads.

With AWS Outposts racks, you can extend AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools to on-premises locations. Providing performant, stable, and resilient network connections to both the parent AWS Region as well as the local network is essential to maintaining uninterrupted service. The release of two new Amazon CloudWatch metrics, VifConnectionStatus and VifBgpSessionState, gives you greater visibility into the operational status of the Outpost network connections. In this post, we discuss how to use these metrics to quickly identify network disruptions, using additional data points that can help reduce time to resolution.

September 2025: AWS Outposts is now integrated with Dell PowerStore and HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. The guidance in this blog post also applies to these storage systems. Read Announcing AWS Outposts third-party storage integration with Dell and HPE for more details. Building on our previous announcement, AWS Outposts third-party storage integration for data volumes, […]

As you move your generative AI implementations from prototype to production, you may discover the need to run foundation models (FMs) on-premises or at the edge to address data residency, information security (InfoSec) policy, or low latency requirements. To address users’ data residency, latency, and InfoSec needs, this post provides guidance on deploying generative AI FMs into AWS Local Zones and AWS Outposts.
