An outpost/local_zone still has to have a home region that serves as the primary control plane IIUC, so I don't think that would be applicable here. (That said, I think given their experience deploying to China, meeting GDPR, etc, and their focus on whatever it takes to make money, AWS and others should have no problem figuring out a solution to local regulations if that's what it ends up coming down to. That's far more likely than enterprises deciding to restructure everything they do around Cloudflare Workers, or Cloudflare becoming a full cloud platform.) |

Outpost may be local zones today (needs fact check), but maybe a better question is what is the minimum service threshold for AWS to deploy a new "global zone". Considering data locality is the topic at-hand, I would surmise it's not that much and that Big Cloud can handily deploy new global zones at the rate that these new regulations crop up.
Totally separate topic -- but my other thought is these laws are totally at odds with the decentralization trend. Not sure how FileCoin, Sia, Storj et al are thinking about this... maybe building the decentralized storage _protocol_ is the escape hatch, but maybe not.
