Adding to the rapidly expanding family of Amazon Web Services (AWS) devices is a new computer that will help customers add more data to the cloud storage ecosystem. The new Snowcone device will allow users to process data on-premise before it is transferred to the Amazon data centres and servers. This data is transferred, after being processed, either physically (with an e-ink label) or via the Internet.

The new computer is shaped like a box that's 23cm x 15cm x 8cm and weighs 2.1 kg. That's approximately how much a 15-inch laptop weighs. It is also ‘ruggedized' following strict ruggedization standards (ISTA-3A, ASTM D4169, and MIL-STD-810G) to protect against free-fall shock and operational vibration.
