07-04 Edge and Hybrid Computing Services

Last updated Aug 17, 2023 Edit Source

When you push your computing workloads outside of your networks to run close to the destination location

Example

Pushing computing to run on phones, IoT Devices, or external servers not within your cloud network.

When you’re able to run workloads on both your on-premise datacenter and AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that offers the same AWS
infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any datacenter, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a truly consistent hybrid experience. #aws-service ^77fd59

Essentially, it’s a rack of servers running AWS Infrastructure on your physical location

• AWS Outposts is a physical rack of servers that you can put in your data center.
• AWS Outposts allows you to use AWS API and Services such as EC2 right in your datacenter.

AWS Wavelength Zones allows for edge-computing on 5G Networks.
Applications will have ultra-low latency being as close as possible to the users. #aws-service

• AWS Wavelength allows you to build and launch your applications in a telecom datacenter.
• By doing this your application will have ultra-low latency since they will be pushed over a 5G network and be close as possible to then end user.

VMWARE Cloud on AWS allows you to manage on-premise virtual machines using VMWare as EC2 instances. The data-center must be using VMWare for Virtualization. #aws-service

AWS Local Zones are edge datacenters located outside of an AWS region so you can use AWS closer to the end destination. #aws-service

Purpose

When you need faster computing, storage and databases in populated areas that are outside of an AWS Region
