New – Amazon Elastic Block Store Local Snapshots on AWS OutpostsCategory: Security, Data, Infrastructure
Today I am happy to announce that AWS Outposts customers can now make local snapshots of their Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes, making it easy to meet data residency and local backup requirements. Customers use AWS Outposts to support applications that need to run on-premises due to low latency, local data processing, or data residency requirements.
How to Get Started With EBS Local Snapshots on Outposts To get started, visit the AWS Outposts Management Console to order an Outposts configuration that includes your selected EBS and Amazon S3 storage capacity (EBS snapshots use Amazon S3 on Outposts to store snapshots), or you can add S3 storage to your existing Outposts.
You can copy AMI snapshots from the AWS Region to your Outposts and register them as AMI to launch your EC2 instances on Outposts.
To ensure your data residency requirements are met on AWS Outposts, I recommend you refer to whitepapers such as AWS Policy Perspectives: Data Residency and Addressing Data Residency Requirements with AWS Outposts, and confirm and work closely with your compliance and security teams.
