Amazon EC2 enables AMI creation with local snapshots from instances on Outposts

calendar_today August 19, 2026 person aws@amazon.com domain amazon-q

Amazon EC2 now supports creating Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) with local snapshots from instances running on AWS Outposts. This capability makes it easier for customers to create AMIs while storing snapshots directly on the Outpost to meet data residency requirements. Customers can now create AMIs with snapshots stored either on the Outpost itself or in the parent AWS Region.
