You can now create, manage, and back up your Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP FlexGroup volumes using the AWS Management Console, the Amazon FSx CLI, and the AWS SDK. FlexGroups can be as large as 20 petabytes and offer greater performance for demanding workloads. Before this launch you could only create them using the ONTAP CLI and the ONTAP REST API (these options remain available). Also new to this launch is the ability to create Amazon FSx backups of your FlexGroup volumes. FlexVol and FlexGroup FSx for ONTAP supports two volume styles: FlexVol – Support for up to 300 TiB of storage, making these volumes a good fit for general-purpose workloads. FlexGroup – Support for up to 20 PiB of…

New – Scale-out file systems for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP
You can now create Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems that are up to 9x faster than even before. As is already the case with this service, the file systems are fully managed, with latency to primary storage at the sub-millisecond level and latency to the capacity pool in the tens of milliseconds. This new level of performance will allow you to bring even more of your most demanding electronic design automation (EDA), visual effects (VFX), and statistical computing workloads (to name just a few) to the cloud. Existing FSx for ONTAP scale-up file systems are powered by a single pair of servers in an active/passive high availability (HA) configuration, and can support a maximum of 4 GBps of…
Introducing shared VPC support for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP
You can now create Multi-AZ FSx for ONTAP file systems in VPCs that have been shared with you by other accounts in the same AWS Organization. This highly requested feature enables a clean separation of duties between network administrators and storage administrators, and makes it possible to create storage that’s durable, highly available, and accessible from multiple VPCs. Shared VPC support Before today’s launch, you had the ability to create Single-AZ FSx for ONTAP file systems in subnets that were shared with you by another AWS account, as well as both Single – and Multi-AZ file systems in subnets that you own. With today’s launch you can now do the same for file systems in multiple Availability Zones. Multi-AZ FSx…
Announcing on-demand data replication for Amazon FSx for OpenZFS
Today we’re adding to Amazon FSx for OpenZFS the capability to send a snapshot from a file system to another file system in your account. You can trigger the copy with one single API call or CLI command, and we take care of the rest. You don’t need to use commands like rsync and monitor the state of the transfer. The service takes care of the copy on your behalf. It manages potential network interruptions and retries automatically until the transfer completes. It transfers data incrementally at block level using OpenZFS’s native send and receive capabilities. This new capability helps you to maintain agility by, for example, allowing quicker and easier creation of testing and development environments, and performance improvements…
