AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner

Explanation

AWS Outposts is the correct answer because it allows companies to run AWS infrastructure and services on-premises in their own data centers. Here's why:

Key Features of AWS Outposts:

• Hybrid Cloud Solution: AWS Outposts brings native AWS services, infrastructure, and operating models to virtually any data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility
• Compute and Storage: Provides a full stack of AWS compute, storage, and networking services that run locally on Outposts
• Seamless Integration: Fully managed service that integrates with AWS services in the cloud
• Consistent Experience: Uses the same AWS APIs, tools, and hardware as in the AWS cloud

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

• AWS Local Zones: Places AWS compute, storage, database, and other select services closer to large population and industry centers, but still in AWS infrastructure, not on-premises
• AWS Wavelength Zones: Embeds AWS compute and storage services within telecommunications providers' 5G networks, designed for ultra-low latency applications
• AWS Direct Connect: A network service that provides a dedicated private network connection from on-premises to AWS, but doesn't deploy AWS compute/storage on-premises

AWS Outposts is specifically designed for organizations that need to run workloads on-premises while maintaining seamless integration with AWS cloud services.
