Latency is one of the big selling points for Outposts. They have customers wanting to control industrial equipment from their cloud resources, but the nearest AWS region is too far away to provide the low latency connectivity they need. With Outposts, they get the cloud, but with on-prem network latency.

There is no certification process in place for using a cloud to store HIPAA data. It even says that on the page that you linked. Legally, any organization that used this service would be opening themselves to further liability under HIPAA.

Tell that to literally every hospital, medical provider, and insurer in the United States.
They’re all using AWS, and OneDrive.

That’s news to me. Every time to vendor tries to get me to switch to their cloud product I tell them to get lost. I’m not willingly handing over patient data to these clowns, I’ve seen how bad they are at security.

I am a software developer who does custom EMR software specifically because the places I work for can’t use the cloud. But okay I will try…

can you site the part of HIPAA that says that?
There’s no certification for HIPAA defined in law.

No I can’t cite something that doesn’t exist. I literally just said there isn’t one… so I am not sure what your point is.

What legal violation? Because the law says nothing about that.
