Second-generation AWS Outposts racks now supported in the AWS Asia Pacific (Seoul, Sydney) and Europe (Paris) Regions

Amazon Web Services has expanded regional support for its second-generation AWS Outposts racks to include the Asia Pacific regions of Seoul and Sydney, as well as Europe's Paris region. The expansion allows organizations in South Korea, Australia, and France to deploy AWS infrastructure directly within their on-premises data centers or colocation facilities while maintaining connectivity to these newly supported AWS regions. The second-generation Outposts racks are designed to address specific technical requirements including low-latency access to on-premises systems and data residency compliance mandates. Organizations can now run workloads locally that require immediate access to existing infrastructure while maintaining centralized application management through their connected home AWS region. This hybrid approach enables customers to process sensitive data on-premises to meet regulatory requirements while leveraging AWS services and APIs for management and orchestration. The regional expansion provides additional flexibility for customers to optimize their hybrid cloud deployments based on geographic proximity and regulatory needs. AWS Outposts racks deliver the same infrastructure, services, and developer tools available in AWS regions, creating a consistent operational experience across on-premises and cloud environments.
