  • AWS offers hybrid architectures using Local Zones, Wavelength Zones, and Outposts to support regulatory compliance
  • Five key deployment strategies are outlined for achieving resiliency:
    • Regional deployment (highest preference)
    • Local Zone and Wavelength Zone deployment
    • Local Zone and Outpost deployment
    • Wavelength Zone and Outpost deployment
    • Outposts for primary and secondary sites
  • Key considerations include network traffic flows, latency, security, and connectivity between different AWS edge locations
