  "name": "AWS Outposts (Disconnected/Air-gapped)",
  "description": "AWS Outposts (Disconnected/Air-gapped) is a specialized rack-scale infrastructure solution designed to provide AWS services, APIs, and tools in environments with limited or no connectivity to the public internet or AWS Regions. It is engineered for highly regulated industries and tactical edge locations where data must remain strictly isolated for security or sovereignty reasons. Unlike standard Outposts, this variant is optimized for autonomous operation without a persistent service link.",
