AWS Outposts: A Complete Guide to Hybrid Cloud at the Edge
Traditional on-premises infrastructure offers control, security, and predictable performance but lacks scalability and flexibility. It often requires high upfront investments, longer procurement cycles, and manual maintenance. Cloud-only models provide agility, elasticity, and managed services. However, they can face limitations due to data residency requirements, latency-sensitive applications, and integration with legacy systems. These limitations have made way for hybrid cloud models that combine both environments' strengths. Hybrid cloud is no longer a transitional state; it is a strategic architectural model. AWS Outposts brings native AWS services, infrastructure, and operational models to virtually any on-premises facility. This enables consistent development, deployment, and management across cloud and on-prem environments.
