Amazon Web Services Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, AWS services, application programmer interfaces (APIs), and tools to virtually any data center, colocation space, or on-premises facility.
It is one example of how some parts of the edge computing business might not require use of edge computing facilities owned or managed by telcos or other edge computing providers offering neutral host computing and storage.
Instead, AWS Outposts essentially is one way to support hybrid computing, with AWS edge computing inside enterprise data centers. AWS also will support other forms of edge computing that put the actual servers at some location outside the enterprise but possibly within a metro area, in partnership with some telcos, for example.
In those cases the computing or storage as a service is supplied by AWS, the colocation facilities by a connectivity service provider. Outposts is not designed for small retail customers but for enterprise data centers, as is clear from the data center requirements.
