If this is true this is amazing as it lets you prototype with AWS services for the cost of hardware.
[1] not really
I hate that for AWS you have to either pay to develop or use hacky semi-equivalents locally and hope it works when you go to the cloud.
This will be the death of a lot of the smaller virt/hybrid cloud business models, I suspect.
Only if all of regional ("in the cloud") EC2 and EBS services had been re-platformed to run on Eucalyptus.
A significant difference here is that the same infrastructure building blocks used for EC2 and EBS are used for Outposts, and the same regional control plane endpoint is used to create and manage resources. It isn't a second implementation that operates similarly to the regional cloud version.
Additionally, all of the control plane components that are used to drive the infrastructure in the way your API requests intend run in the regional cloud, which leaves practically all of the Outposts resources available for customer workloads.
