Announcing second-generation single-rack AWS Outposts

AWS Announces General Availability of Second-Generation Single-Rack AWS Outposts

AWS has introduced the general availability of second-generation single-rack AWS Outposts, a compact 42U rack that integrates compute, storage, and networking into a single unit designed for workloads needing low latency, local data processing, and data residency in space and power-constrained locations. This single-rack Outposts model offers up to 2,688 vCPUs and 100 TB of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) storage. It supports the latest x86-powered EC2 instances, including general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, and Outposts accelerated networking instances.

Ideal for organizations with limited rack space, such as manufacturing and gaming industries, single-rack Outposts bring the latest AWS compute, storage, and networking features on-premises. It provides a direct path to modernization while utilizing existing space and power. Both single-rack and multi-rack Outposts offer a consistent experience with the same AWS APIs, management console, automation, governance policies, and security controls across AWS Regions and on-premises locations.
