Amazon S3 Access Points for Amazon FSx are now available in additional AWS Regions

Amazon S3 Access Points for FSx

You can now attach Amazon S3 Access Points to your Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems in 4 additional AWS Regions, and to your Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file systems in 20 additional AWS Regions. With this capability, your file data in Amazon FSx is accessible for use with the broad range of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and analytics services and applications that work with S3, while your data continues to reside on your FSx file system.

An S3 Access Point for Amazon FSx is an S3 endpoint that gives S3-based applications and services access to the data on your FSx file system through the Amazon S3 API, without copying or moving that data. You can connect generative AI applications and agents to your file data with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, query the same data in place with Amazon Athena or transform it with AWS Glue, and share files with partners over SFTP, FTPS, and FTP using AWS Transfer Family. You can also access your files from serverless compute such as Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate, or from your own S3-based applications.

What to do

• Create and attach S3 Access Points using the Amazon FSx console, the AWS CLI, or the AWS SDK.
• Refer to the FSx for ONTAP and FSx for OpenZFS user guides for the full list of supported AWS Regions.
• Visit the Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and Amazon FSx for OpenZFS product pages, the Amazon S3 Access Points page, and the FSx for ONTAP and OpenZFS user guides for more information.
