Second-generation AWS Outposts racks now supported in the AWS Canada (Central) and US West (N. California) Regions

Second-generation AWS Outposts racks are now supported in the AWS Canada (Central) and US West (N. California) Regions. Outposts racks extend AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any on-premises data center or colocation space for a truly consistent hybrid experience.

Organizations from startups to enterprises and the public sector in and outside of Canada and the US can now order their Outposts racks connected to these two new supported Regions, optimizing for their latency and data residency needs. Outposts allows customers to run workloads that need low-latency access to on-premises systems locally while connecting back to their home Region for application management. Customers can also use Outposts and AWS services to manage and process data that needs to remain on-premises to meet data residency requirements. This regional expansion provides additional flexibility in the AWS Regions that customers’ Outposts can connect to.
