AWS Outposts now supports self-service capacity management that can be defined specifically for each individual asset. An Outpost asset can be a single server within an Outposts rack or an Outposts server. This makes it easy for customers to customize the allocation of capacity on Outposts at a more granular level. Outposts brings native AWS services, AWS infrastructure, and operating models to virtually any data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility by providing the same services, tools, and partner solutions with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) on premises. Customers have evolving business requirements and often need to fine-tune their application needs as their businesses scale. Capacity management, now with asset level control, enables viewing and modifying the configuration of EC2 capacity on any Outposts.
Customers can define the configuration of EC2 instances on each Outposts rack or server when they place an Outposts order. Customers can then utilize capacity management to view these EC2 instances on their Outposts, their configured sizes, and their placement within the Outpost. Customers can also use capacity management to view, plan, and modify their capacity configuration through self-service UI and API.
Capacity management is available in all AWS Regions where Outposts are supported. Check out the Outposts rack FAQs page and the Outposts servers FAQs page for the list of supported Regions.
