Self-service capacity management for AWS Outposts

AWS Outposts now supports self-service capacity management making it easy for you to view and manage compute capacity on your Outposts. Outposts brings native AWS services, infrastructure, and operating models to virtually any data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility by providing the same services, tools, and partner solutions with EC2 on premises. Customers have evolving business requirements and often need to fine-tune their application needs as their business scales. Capacity management enables viewing and modifying the configuration of EC2 capacity installed on Outposts.

Customers define their configuration when ordering a new Outposts to support a variety of different instances. Customers utilize capacity management to view these instances on their Outposts, their configured sizes, and their placement within the Outposts. Customers can also use capacity management to view, plan, and modify their capacity configuration which they will customize through this new self-service UI and API.

These capacity management features are available in all AWS Regions where Outposts is supported. Check out the Outposts rack FAQs page and the Outposts servers FAQs page for the full list of supported Regions.
