Announcing second-generation single-rack AWS Outposts

Today, AWS announces the general availability of second-generation single-rack AWS Outposts, a self-contained 42U rack that integrates compute, storage and networking into a single compact unit purpose-built for workloads requiring low latency, local data processing, and data residency in space and power constrained locations. A single-rack Outposts delivers up to 2,688 vCPU and 100 TB of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) storage. Moreover, like multi-rack Outposts, single-rack Outposts support the latest x86-powered EC2 instances, including general purpose (M7i, M8i), compute-optimized (C7i, C8i), memory-optimized (R7i, R8i), and Outposts accelerated networking (Bmn-sf2e, Bmn-cx2, Bmn-cx3a) instances.

For organizations that operate in locations with limited rack space, such as manufacturing, gaming, and other industries, single-rack Outposts brings the latest AWS compute, storage, and networking features on-premises, and gives customers a direct path to modernize while leveraging their currently available space and power. Single-rack and multi-rack Outposts offer customers a consistent experience with the same AWS APIs, management console, automation, governance policies, and security controls across AWS Regions and on-premises locations.
