Implementation guidance
AWS Outposts must be anchored to service link endpoints exposed
in an AWS Region. The Region to which an AWS Outpost is anchored
is determined at the time an order is placed. Unlike with Local
Zones, an AWS Outpost can be anchored to any supported Region,
so you have more flexibility to select the anchor Region based
on your sustainability goals. When deploying an AWS Outpost to
address data residency requirements, consider anchoring it to
the most
sustainable
Region
