Overview

Product Information on AWS Outposts

Updated 13th October 2025

What is AWS Outposts?

AWS Outposts is a software that enables organizations to run Amazon Web Services infrastructure and services on premises, facilitating a consistent hybrid cloud experience. The software is designed to extend native AWS services, infrastructure, and operating models to on-premises environments, addressing business needs for local data residency, low latency, and application processing close to end users or specific systems. AWS Outposts integrates with existing AWS services and management interfaces, allowing users to deploy computing and storage resources at their physical location and to manage workloads using familiar tools and APIs. This approach helps organizations maintain interoperability between on-premises and AWS cloud workloads, supporting use cases such as data center modernization, local processing, and application migration.

AWS Outposts Pricing

AWS Outposts software offers a pricing model based on the configuration and capacity of the hardware purchased, with charges for the underlying infrastructure as a combination of upfront payment and ongoing monthly fees. Additional usage-based fees for compute, storage, and data transfer may apply based on actual consumption. Prices vary depending on region and selected instance types.

    Seamless hybrid cloud integration with local performance

    Mar 13, 2026
    AWS Outposts has effectively bridged the gap between our on premises requirments and our cloud first strategy. It provides a truly consistent hybrid experience, allowing us to use the same APIs, consoles and tools we use in the cloud right in our own data center. This has been instrumental for our workloads that require ultra low latency to local factor systems

Performance of AWS Outposts Across Market Features

AWS Outposts Likes & Dislikes

Like

The single pane of glasds management is the standout feature. Not having to mantain separate operational workflows for on prem and cloud is a huge efficiency gain. Also the fact that AWS handles the hardware installation and maintenance (monitoring and replacing components) takes a massive burden off our local IT staff.
