AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 779

Which AWS solution provides the ability for a company to run AWS services in the company’s on-premises data center?

Answer options

• A. AWS Direct Connect
• B. AWS Outposts
• C. AWS Systems Manager hybrid activations
• D. AWS Storage Gateway

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools directly to an organization's on-premises facilities for a seamless hybrid experience. While AWS Direct Connect establishes a dedicated network connection to AWS and AWS Storage Gateway bridges local applications with cloud storage, neither of them allows running native AWS services locally. AWS Systems Manager hybrid activations are used for managing non-AWS resources but do not host AWS services on-premises.
