AWS Snowball Edge devices are now available in the AWS Middle East (UAE) Region. AWS Snowball, a member of the [AWS Snow Family](/snow/), is an edge computing, data migration, and edge storage device that comes in two configurations - Snowball Edge Storage Optimized and Snowball Edge Compute Optimized.

AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized is offered with on-demand pricing option, which includes 10 days of device use and a per-day fee for each additional day you use the device before sending it back to AWS. AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimized is available in Monthly and 1-Year Commit pricing options. For complete pricing details, visit the [AWS Snowball pricing page](/snowball/pricing/).
