To start using S3 on Outposts, visit the AWS Outposts Management Console to order an Outposts configuration that includes your desired S3 storage capacity, or you can add S3 storage to an existing Outpost by working with your AWS account team. You then use the AWS console or S3 SDK, or CLI to create buckets and S3 Access Points on your Outposts. You can control access and monitor your S3 on Outposts using the same services that you use with Amazon S3 today, such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), S3 Access Points and policies to control access to objects and buckets, Amazon CloudWatch to monitor operational health, and AWS CloudTrail to track and report on bucket-level activity.
Amazon S3 on Outposts is now available in all AWS commercial regions where AWS Outposts is available. Please refer to the AWS Outposts FAQs for S3 on Outposts availability. To learn more, visit the S3 on Outposts page, documentation, or read the blog post.
