Bringing AWS closer to where you need it
Some applications cannot easily migrate to the cloud. Perhaps you need to work with large
local datasets, share data with on-premises applications with single-digit millisecond latency,
or meet data residency requirements. In these use cases, constantly transmitting data through
the cloud is too slow, too cumbersome, or simply not permitted.
Traditionally, building your hybrid and edge infrastructure and solutions has been complex
and challenging, with the focus on trying to integrate legacy systems and architectures with
cloud services. All this to maintain different infrastructure platforms, different application
programming models, and separate tools between your on-premises, edge, and cloud
environments. To resolve this complexity, you need an extension of the cloud to where your
on-premises and edge applications reside. An extension that provides you the same cloud
infrastructure and services to be deployed wherever you need them, for a truly consistent
AWS experience.
AWS has an extensive cloud service portfolio to address some of your most common use cases:
• Low latency – For use cases such as manufacturing automation, media and entertainment
content creation, real-time gaming, financial trading platforms, electronic design
automation, and machine learning inference at the edge.
• Local data processing – Some of your datasets may need to be processed locally
because they can't be easily migrated to the cloud. Build on AWS for a consistent hybrid
cloud architecture to process data on premises and easily move data to the cloud for
long-term archiving.
• Data residency – Security/tax regulations, data sovereignty, and geopolitical dynamics may
require you to store data in a country, state, or municipality. This is especially common in
financial services, healthcare, oil and gas, and other highly regulated industries.
