A company is based in a location without an AWS Region but wants to move some of its Windows file servers to AWS. The data must reside in the location that the company is based in.
and Local zones are an extension of AWS region. So, if the company doesnt belong to the AWS region, then how will you be able to use a Local zone? . Answer is Outpost.
B. AWS Local Zones
the request is about Data residency, i.e. data must remain in a specific geographic region for regulatory or information security reasons.
"Local Zones bring AWS closer or within a customer’s geographic boundary in a fully AWS owned and operated mode and can therefore help meet data residency requirements. Data residency depends on many factors; Outposts helps meet a customer’s data residency requirements because it’s installed on premises and essentially brings AWS to where the data currently resides. This allows you to pick and control where your workloads run, and where your data will stay. "
B. AWS Local Zones is more suitable for the requirement, where A. AWS Outposts is also meeting the requirement somehow being a bit overkill that need to setup on-prem racks/servers.
"The data must reside in the location that the company is based in."
AWS Local Zones are a type of AWS infrastructure deployment that place compute, storage, database, and other select services closer to large population, industry, and IT centers, enabling you to deliver applications that require single-digit millisecond latency to end-users.
AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any datacenter, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a consistent hybrid experience.
I'm going with outposts on this one.
A. AWS Outposts - AWS Outposts is a family of fully managed solutions delivering AWS infrastructure and services to virtually any on-premises or edge location for a truly consistent hybrid experience.
B. AWS Local Zones - AWS Local Zones are a type of infrastructure deployment that places compute, storage, database, and other select AWS services close to large population and industry centers." Nowhere in the question, it mentioned the company is close to a large population
C. Amazon EC2 - We cannot have just the ec2 in the on-premise location
D. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server - Company wants to move the file servers, not the files, so this is not applicable and also it says the data should reside on-premises.
