Amazon FSx for OpenZFS Intelligent-Tiering storage class is now available in 8 additional AWS Regions

You can now create Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file systems with the Intelligent-Tiering storage class in 8 additional AWS Regions across the US, Europe, Asia Pacific, and South America.

FSx Intelligent-Tiering is built for general-purpose file workloads such as file shares, archives, media libraries, and migrations from on-premises HDD storage. It automatically moves your data across three storage tiers (Frequent Access, Infrequent Access, and Archive) based on access patterns, and an optional SSD read cache keeps your active data fast. You get high performance for active workloads and low-cost storage for everything else, paying only for what you store with no capacity to manage. With FSx Intelligent-Tiering, you can save up to 85% compared to the FSx SSD storage class and up to 20% compared to on-premises HDD-based NAS.

With this expansion, the FSx Intelligent-Tiering storage class is now available for FSx for OpenZFS file systems in the following additional AWS Regions: US West (N. California), Europe (London, Stockholm, Spain, Zurich), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Seoul), and South America (São Paulo).
