AWS DataSync Enhanced Mode Updates

AWS DataSync Enhanced mode now supports Amazon FSx for Windows File Server and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP as source or destination locations. You can now run Windows to Windows transfers, such as from an on-premises file server to FSx for Windows File Server. Additionally, Enhanced mode agents can now run on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization version 4.20 or later.

Enhanced mode processes data in parallel for higher performance, removes file count limitations, and provides detailed data transfer metrics. OpenShift Virtualization expands your agent deployment options alongside VMware ESXi, KVM, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Amazon EC2.

What to do

  • Choose Enhanced mode when creating a task in the AWS DataSync console.
  • Explore the new location options in the AWS DataSync documentation.
