AWS Outpost support for 1 year term

Yes, AWS Outposts rack capacity can be purchased for a 1-year term. AWS provides flexible pricing options for Outposts, which include 1-year, 3-year, and pay-as-you-go terms. Here’s how the pricing and purchasing options work:

AWS Outposts Rack Pricing Options:

1-Year Term:

You commit to using the Outposts rack for 1 year and get a lower price compared to on-demand pricing.

This option is suitable for customers with shorter-term projects who still want cost savings.

3-Year Term:

The 3-year term offers even more savings and is ideal for long-term infrastructure commitments.

Pay-as-you-go:

For customers who prefer flexibility, AWS Outposts can also be paid for on a pay-as-you-go basis, with no upfront commitment.

How to Purchase AWS Outposts with a 1-Year Term:

Go to the AWS Outposts Console.

Select the Configuration for the Outposts rack (e.g., EC2 instance types, EBS storage, etc.).

Choose the Purchase Option:

When configuring your Outposts, select the 1-year term for the required capacity.

Contact AWS Sales: For certain configurations or if you have specific requirements, you may need to reach out to AWS sales to finalize the purchase.

Considerations:

Pricing for the 1-year term will vary based on the hardware configuration and capacity you choose.

Outposts are designed for hybrid environments, allowing you to run AWS services locally in your own data center or on-premises environment, which is particularly useful for low-latency workloads or data residency requirements.
