Capabilities – services and features
It’s easy to be amazed by the engineering and technology in AWS Outposts. As technicians, we love to spend most of our time talking about the hardware components and hypervisor bits that make up solutions such as AWS Outposts. But ultimately applications are built using the services running on top of that hardware, and that is what we will be talking about in the remainder of this chapter.
