Extending Cloud Environment to On-Premises with DuploCloud

This white paper outlines the implementation of a software-only AWS Outpost-like environment using standard commodity servers, enabling organizations to extend their cloud capabilities to on-premises infrastructure. It discusses the advantages of hybrid deployments, particularly in leveraging AWS Outposts and Azure Stack for edge computing. The paper identifies two key requirements for successful on-prem deployment: the ability to run workloads using containers or ETL jobs, and the tolerance for latency when accessing public cloud services. It further details various use cases suitable for edge computing, including test and development workloads, big data analysis, AI/ML processing, and standard IaaS-based web hosting. The document also addresses the challenges associated with edge deployments, such as OS installation, application deployment, and security management. By utilizing DuploCloud's solution, organizations can achieve operational simplification and cost savings while maintaining high performance and locality for their workloads.
