AWS Outposts is a fully managed hybrid cloud service that extends AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and operational tools directly into on-premises data centers, co-location facilities, and edge locations. AWS states that Outposts delivers a truly consistent hybrid experience by allowing organizations to run AWS services locally while remaining connected to AWS Regions.
With AWS Outposts, businesses can use familiar AWS services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon EBS, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, and Amazon RDS directly within their own facilities while maintaining the same AWS operational model, APIs, security controls, and management experience.
Through DBS, organizations can design, deploy, govern, and optimize AWS Outposts environments that support enterprise hybrid cloud transformation initiatives across Bahrain, the GCC, and the wider Middle East region.
What’s Special About AWS Outposts with DBS

Hybrid Modernization & Cloud Migration
AWS Outposts helps organizations modernize legacy applications while maintaining integration with existing on-premises systems. AWS highlights application migration with local system interdependencies as a key use case.
DBS supports organizations with:
- Hybrid cloud transformation strategies
- Gradual cloud migration roadmaps
- Legacy application modernization
- Hybrid application architectures
- Container adoption
- VMware and traditional infrastructure transition planning
- Cloud-native enablement
This enables businesses to modernize incrementally without requiring immediate full cloud migration.
Container & Kubernetes Platforms
AWS Outposts supports services such as:
- Amazon ECS
- Amazon EKS
- EC2
- RDS
- EBS
AWS documentation highlights support for container and Kubernetes environments on Outposts.
DBS helps organizations:
- Build hybrid Kubernetes platforms
- Deploy containerized applications
- Establish DevOps pipelines
- Support microservices architectures
- Integrate edge and cloud workloads
- Improve application portability
This allows organizations to modernize application delivery while maintaining local operational requirements.
Fully Managed AWS Infrastructure
AWS manages the lifecycle of Outposts infrastructure including:
- Delivery
- Installation
- Monitoring
- Maintenance
- Patching
- Hardware management
AWS states that Outposts is a fully managed infrastructure service.
DBS helps organizations:
- Reduce infrastructure operational complexity
- Improve infrastructure reliability
- Minimize maintenance burden
- Enhance operational governance
- Optimize hybrid infrastructure management
This allows IT teams to focus more on business operations and innovation instead of hardware administration.
