AWS Modular Data Center in AWS GovCloud (US)

AWS MDC is currently available in AWS GovCloud (US-West) only.

AWS MDC is a simple and cost-effective service for defense and intelligence agencies to deploy AWS managed data centers anywhere in the world to run low-latency applications. AWS MDC is self-contained, which means that it's a physical, environmentally controlled enclosure that holds as many as five racks of AWS Outposts or AWS Snowball Edge devices. It can also be scaled further through deployment of additional modules. AWS MDC reduces the time and resources required to deploy data centers in remote environments with limited infrastructure. Customers can proactively monitor and manage their modular data centers using a management system that comes with every MDC. Each modular data center is equipped with Building Management System (BMS) sensors to monitor the environmental conditions of the MDC, including temperature, humidity, ventilation, HVAC performance, and power quality. The BMS also monitors safety systems, such as smoke detection, fire alarm, and the Access Control System (ACS) / Intrusion Detection System (IDS).
