1. Use [AWS Outposts](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/outposts/latest/userguide/) for latency-sensitive workloads that must run close to on-premises systems.

1. Use AWS Snowball Edge for disconnected or intermittent connectivity use cases.

1. Host enterprise applications on [Amazon EC2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/) with Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing.

1. Use [Amazon FSx](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/LustreGuide/) and Amazon EC2 with WorkSpaces Applications for high performance computing (HPC), CAD, and CAE workloads.
