What is AWS bare metal?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 5:58 pm

AWS bare metal is the term AWS uses for its physical infrastructure. This infrastructure is used to run the AWS services.

It is designed to handle the peak loads and provide low latency. The infrastructure is also designed to scale up or down as needed.

AWS bare metal is a managed service. This means that AWS manages the infrastructure for you.

PRO TIP: AWS bare metal is a physical server that you can use to run your own applications or workloads. It is not a virtual machine or container instance. You will need to have your own operating system and software to run on the server. You will also need to manage the server yourself, including patching and maintaining the operating system and software.

You don’t have to worry about the hardware, software, or configuration. AWS also provides a wide range of services to help you use the bare metal infrastructure.

AWS bare metal can be used for a wide range of applications. It can be used for web applications, software as a service (SaaS), and data intensive applications.

The main advantage of using AWS bare metal is that it is fast and reliable. The infrastructure is also scalable, so you can add or remove resources as needed.

The main disadvantage of using AWS bare metal is that it is expensive. However, this cost can be offset by the benefits of reliability and speed.
