A company is based in a location without an AWS Region but wants to move some of its Windows file servers to AWS. The data must reside in the location that the company is based in.
and Local zones are an extension of AWS region. So, if the company doesnt belong to the AWS region, then how will you be able to use a Local zone? . Answer is Outpost.
B. AWS Local Zones
the request is about Data residency, i.e. data must remain in a specific geographic region for regulatory or information security reasons.
"Local Zones bring AWS closer or within a customer’s geographic boundary in a fully AWS owned and operated mode and can therefore help meet data residency requirements. Data residency depends on many factors; Outposts helps meet a customer’s data residency requirements because it’s installed on premises and essentially brings AWS to where the data currently resides. This allows you to pick and control where your workloads run, and where your data will stay. "
B. AWS Local Zones is more suitable for the requirement, where A. AWS Outposts is also meeting the requirement somehow being a bit overkill that need to setup on-prem racks/servers.
"The data must reside in the location that the company is based in."
AWS Local Zones are a type of AWS infrastructure deployment that place compute, storage, database, and other select services closer to large population, industry, and IT centers, enabling you to deliver applications that require single-digit millisecond latency to end-users.
AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any datacenter, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a consistent hybrid experience.
I'm going with outposts on this one.
