Introducing Gen 2 AWS Outpost Racks with Improved Speed

The second-generation AWS Outpost racks, the company’s most recent edge computing innovation, are now generally available

A new processor generation and more advanced Outposts rack configurations offer quicker processing, more memory, and higher network bandwidth

Racks at AWS house Amazon EC2 compute-optimized C7i instances, general-purpose M7i instances, and memory-optimized R7i x86 instances

Rack C5, M5, and R5 instances from older Outposts had 40% less performance and double vCPU, RAM, and Internet bandwidth

Bmn-sf2e instances, which are intended for ultra-low latency with predictable performance, are the first in this category

The next Outpost racks generation improves performance, scalability, and resilience for on-premises applications, particularly mission-critical workloads with rigorous throughput and latency requirements
