### AI overview

AWS Outposts capacity metrics in Amazon CloudWatch now support an AssetState dimension with Active, Isolated, and Retiring values, enabling more accurate capacity monitoring and alarms.

### Source excerpt

Today, we are releasing an expanded format of our Amazon CloudWatch dimensions for AWS Outposts capacity metrics. The existing CloudWatch metrics, AvailableInstanceType_Count, UsedInstanceType_Count, InstanceTypeCapacityAvailability, and InstanceTypeCapacityUtilization for Outposts, can now be grouped using the new AssetState dimension with values: Active, Isolated, or Retiring. In this post, we describe what's changing and how you can use [...]

### 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 [...]
