AWS Snowcone is now available in the AWS Europe (Ireland) Region
The AWS Snowcone service is now available for order for customers in the EU (Ireland) Region. With this launch, Snowcone is now available for order in EU (Ireland), US East (N. Virginia), and US West (Oregon) Regions. AWS Snowcone is the smallest member of the AWS Snow Family of edge computing and data transfer devices. Snowcone is portable, rugged, and secure – small and light enough to fit in a backpack, and able to withstand harsh environments. Customers use Snowcone to deploy applications at the edge, and to collect data, process it locally, and move it to AWS either offline (by shipping the device to AWS) or online (by using AWS DataSync) on Snowcone to send the data to AWS over the network.

Edge locations often lack the space, power, and cooling needed for data center IT equipment to run applications. With 2 CPUs, 4 GB of memory, 8 TB of usable storage, and wired networking, Snowcone runs edge computing workloads with select Amazon EC2 instances or AWS IoT Greengrass. Snowcone is small, approximately 9 inches x 6 inches x 3 inches, weighs 4.5 lbs., and supports operation via battery for mobility.
To setup and manage Snowcone, you can use AWS OpsHub, a graphical user interface that enables you to rapidly deploy edge computing workloads and simplify data migration to the cloud. DataSync comes pre-installed on the device to move data online to and from Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, or Amazon FSx for Windows File Server.
To learn more, visit the Snowcone product page, OpsHub documentation, and AWS News Snowcone launch blog. To get started, order Snowcone in the AWS Snow Family console.
