AWS Outposts is Now Available in Two Smaller Form Factors

Posted on: Nov 30, 2021

AWS Outposts 1U and 2U rack-mountable servers are now generally available.

The 1U server is 19“ wide, 24” deep, and is available with C6gd instances powered by Graviton2, with 64 vCPUs, 128 GiB memory, and 4 TB of local NVMe storage. The Outposts 2U server is 19“ wide, 30” deep, and is available with C6id instances powered with 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, with up to 128 vCPUs, 256 GiB memory, and 8 TB of local NVMe storage. You can run Amazon EC2 instances for Virtual Machines, use VPC for networking, and run Amazon ECS for containers with support for Amazon EKS coming soon. Outposts server capacity can be managed by the same in-Region tools like Amazon CloudWatch, AWS CloudFormation, and AWS Code Deploy that you use to deploy applications in the AWS Region or to Outposts racks.
