-When you launch an instance, you select a Region and a virtual private cloud (VPC). Then, you can either select a subnet from one of the Availability Zones or let us choose a subnet for you. When you launch your initial instances, we recommend that you allow us to select the best Availability Zone for you based on system health and available capacity. If you launch additional instances, specify an Availability Zone only if your new instances must be close to, or separated from, your existing instances.

-To launch EC2 instances you must create an Outpost subnet.

To connect to an EC2 instance in an Outpost subnet, you can specify a key pair when you launch the instance, just as you do for instances in an Availability Zone subnet to allow connections using SSH.
