 Verify Outposts facilities meet requirements, design robust network connectivity, and select data storage solutions that keep data within required geographic boundaries. 

When designing data residency workloads for hybrid edge operations, it is crucial to verify Outposts facilities meet requirements, design robust network connectivity, and select data storage solutions that keep data within required geographic boundaries. Adhering to these best practices helps ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations while benefiting from the capabilities of Outposts and Local Zones.
