Outpost is literally a AWS branded server rack that is installed into a data center, I don't think it's considered "cloud" in modern stack.

- netfortius 3y agoThe end-to-end infrastructure (and parts of PaaS delivered within Outpost, from within the set of AWServices) is in fact a cloud "extension", with an on-prem leg, NOT an on-prem solution connected to the cloud. There are a lot of constructs which force the AWS cloud products/services usage, not the traditional on-prem ones.
- aynyc 3y agoThe outpost deployment in financial services that I've seen is the opposite in cloud extension. These companies want to say they are cloud-enabled, rather than push a full stack onto the AWS regions, they essentially buy AWS outpost rack as a way to extend their on-prem environment to the cloud (mainly S3).
