Section titled “Concept”AWS Outposts is AWS hardware placed in your own office or data center, which works just like AWS. AWS itself installs, monitors and maintains this hardware. An Outpost is always connected to an AWS Region and is managed from there. You can run services such as EC2, EBS, containers and some databases on it. Because the same Console, APIs and tools are used, work in the cloud and in your own building follows the same rules.
