Which solution will provide a consistent hybrid experience to meet these requirements?
Migrate all applications to the closest AWS Region that is compliant. Set up an AWS Direct Connect connection between the central on-premises data center and AWS. Deploy a Direct Connect gateway.
Use AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices for the applications that have data regulatory requirements or requirements for latency of single-digit milliseconds. Retain the devices on premises. Deploy AWS Wavelength to host the workloads in the factory sites.
Install AWS Outposts for the applications that have data regulatory requirements or requirements for latency of single-digit milliseconds. Use AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimized devices to host the workloads in the factory sites.
Migrate the applications that have data regulatory requirements or requirements for latency of single-digit milliseconds to an AWS Local Zone. Deploy AWS Wavelength to host the workloads in the factory sites.
Explanations:
While AWS Direct Connect can provide a dedicated connection between on-premises and AWS, the solution does not address the need for a consistent hybrid experience or low-latency requirements at factory sites. Direct Connect gateway only supports cross-region communication, not the hybrid cloud model needed here.
AWS Snowball Edge devices are suitable for edge storage but not for running applications at scale in a consistent hybrid model. Wavelength helps with low-latency applications but does not meet the need for centralized or hybrid application deployment.
AWS Outposts provide a consistent hybrid cloud experience by extending AWS infrastructure to on-premises environments. Snowball Edge Compute devices are useful for the factory site with limited infrastructure. This approach ensures low-latency and regulatory compliance for the applications.
AWS Local Zones are designed for low-latency workloads in metro areas but do not provide the consistency across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments that the company needs. AWS Wavelength is more suited for applications at the edge but does not solve the hybrid cloud issue for factory sites.
I conclude that the answer is:
Install AWS Outposts for the applications that have data regulatory requirements or requirements for latency of single-digit milliseconds. Use AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimized devices to host the workloads in the factory sites.
