Like all AWS services, Outposts can be ordered from right within the AWS console. Just search for ‘Outposts’ and you’ll be taken straight to the Outposts configuration page (you must be in a supported region).
Click on the ‘Create Outposts’ button and you’ll be taken through to the configuration wizard which will ask you to create a name for your Outpost, add an optional description and then choose the site where you wish for it to be installed. You’ll need to create a site if you have not done so already, and run through a series of questions to ensure that your site can accommodate the Outpost – availability of suitable power, temperature and humidity range requirements, physical space etc.
You’ll also need to tell AWS which Availability Zone you wish your Outpost to be part of. Once you’ve done this, you are ready to create your outpost and choose an outpost configuration from the Outposts Catalogue.
