AWS Outposts is the solution. GCP and Azure have their own version of this, and they all had it long before Oxide. I like Oxide but people seem to be blind to the actual competition when they focus on Dell as the competitor. AWS has been shipping Outposts racks for years.

I’m not sure where his customers are, but Outpost up/downlinks are supposed to to be at least 1gbit, and they don’t behave well in situations where the latency to the paired region is high. EBS lazy loading blocks is great in region but awful when your ping is 300ms.

You can use EBS Local Snapshots, can't you? It stores in your Outpost S3 storage.
