SourceAmazon EC2 enables AMI creation with local snapshots from instances on Outposts
This allows customers to meet strict data residency requirements by keeping their system backups stored physically on-site.
- Customers can create AMIs with snapshots stored directly on AWS Outposts or in the parent AWS Region.
- Amazon EC2 automatically determines the target Outpost from instance location without requiring an Outpost ARN.
- Enables integration into existing backup and lifecycle workflows for Outposts instances while maintaining data residency compliance.
- Available in all AWS Regions where AWS Outposts supports local snapshot storage.
