AWS Outposts rack: security and compliance
• AWS Outposts rack has an updated shared responsibility model

• AWS is responsible for protecting Outposts’ infrastructure

similar to securing infrastructure in the cloud today

• Customers are responsible for securing their applications

running on Outposts rack as they do in AWS Region

• Customers are also responsible for the physical security of their Outpost racks

• AWS services launched locally on Outposts rack will go through a separate evaluation for
certifications and existing certifications WILL NOT apply

• Compared to certification for other AWS services, with AWS Outposts rack the customer
owns the responsibility for physical security and access controls around the Outpost
for compliance certification

• AWS Outposts rack is FedRAMP authorized*, HIPAA eligible, PCI, SOC, ISMAP, IRAP, and FINMA compliant,
ISO, CSA STAR, and HITRUST certified, and GxP compatible
AWS Outposts is FedRAMP Moderate authorized for US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon) and FedRAMP High authorized for GovCloud(US-West) and GovCloud(US-East).
FedRAMP granted authorization to AWS Outposts, excluding the hardware components of the service. This means customers and agencies can make a risk-based decision to use AWS Outposts hardware components
or conduct a Type Accreditation to review the hardware components of AWS Outposts to process FedRAMP workloads.

Adding capacity to existing Outposts racks
Scale out expansion
• Order additional Outposts racks from the catalog and add to existing logical Outposts
• Manage multiple Outposts racks as a single pool of capacity
• Can upgrade capacity by connecting 100+ racks within a logical Outposts with additional networking equipment
• Can add any combination of EC2 instances, EBS storage volumes, and S3 on Outposts

Scale up expansion
• Existing Outposts racks with available power and positions within the rack can grow from a “small” to a
“medium” or “large” configuration or from a “medium” to “large” configuration (typically 3 servers)
• Can upgrade twice within a rack before maxing out rack power and positions in the rack
• Requires restarting term commitment when upgrading

Disconnected Outpost?
• EC2 and EBS will continue to run and be accessible via the Local Gateway
• API calls to the AWS Region will fail (launching new instances, etc.)
• Metrics spooled locally for limited period
• EC2 temporary security credentials will expire after ~4 hours
• AWS Support will initiate a support case upon disconnection

 EC2 Placement Groups on Outposts rack

Placement groups allow you to influence the placement

strategy of instances on the underlying hardware. The Spread Strategy
following placement strategies are available on Outposts
rack:

- Spread – Instances in the group are placed on

distinct racks, max 7 per group

- Partition – Each partition is placed on a distinct set

of racks, no limit on instances in each partition, max Partition Strategy Cluster Strategy
7 partitions

- Cluster – Instances are clustered on racks in the

same network spine, in the case of Outposts rack
this would cluster within an ACE rack deployment

An instance can be in one placement group at a time.

Instances must be ‘stopped’ to move or remove from a
placement group.
© 2021, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates.
 EC2 Placement Groups on Outposts rack

Launch an instance into a placement group:

aws ec2 create-placement-group --group-name group1 --strategy spread

aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-abc12345 --count 1

--instance-type c5.large --key-name MyKeyPair
--security-group-ids sg-1a2b3c4d --subnet-id subnet-6e7f829e
--placement "GroupName = group1”

Partition Placement Groups allow automatic or targeted placement:

aws ec2 create-placement-group --group-name HDFS-Group-A --strategy partition

--partition-count 5

aws ec2 run-instances --placement "GroupName = HDFS-Group-A, PartitionNumber = 3"

Capacity reservations are ideal for
customers who want to know their

future increases in demand,
including planned or unplanned
spikes, backup and disaster
recovery, or for planned growth
and buffer.

reservation from the Outposts
console, the Outpost ARN and You can monitor reservation utilization via

populated. AvailableInstanceCount, TotalInstanceCount,
InstanceUtilization

 EC2 On Demand Capacity Reservations on Outposts rack
You can also share capacity reservations with other accounts in your AWS Organization using Resource
Access Manager. Keep in mind though, that unreserved capacity on the Outpost is still available to any
account the Outpost has been shared with.

Some customers are exploring using capacity reservations to control utilization of Outpost capacity
across accounts. To do this you’ll want to ensure the majority of the Outpost is reserved.
