## AI overview

This article explains how to design AWS Outposts rack deployments for target IOPS and throughput. It examines the performance limits of EC2 instances and attached EBS volumes, and provides guidance for sizing instances and storage.

## Source excerpt

AWS Outposts extend AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools to on-premises locations for workloads that require low latency, local data processing, or data residency. In this post, you learn how to configure instances running on an Outpost to support the required IOPS and throughput for your application. The actual IOPS available to an instance is [...]
