Remotely Local

AWS Outposts Now Available.

Ha, thatโ€™s great. I thought this was a joke at first but itโ€™s not April Foolโ€™s Day. If you donโ€™t understand what this is, itโ€™s basically creating a baby AWS datacenter extension in your local datacenter.

In other words, we first had remote compute (1960s-1970s), then we went to local (1980s-2000s), then cloud/remote compute again (2010s). And now because cloud performance is often unacceptable (always be limited by the speed of light), local is starting to make a comeback. I knew this would happen, by the way. Light goes as fast as it goes and thatโ€™s it.
