Amazon FSx for OpenZFS now supports additional deployment types in seven AWS Regions

Customers can now create Amazon FSx for OpenZFS Multi-AZ file systems in seven additional AWS Regions: Europe (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Europe (London), Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), and Asia Pacific (Hong Kong). Customers can also now create Amazon FSx for OpenZFS Single-AZ 2 file systems in two additional AWS Regions: Europe (Frankfurt) and Asia Pacific (Sydney).

Amazon FSx for OpenZFS provides fully managed, cost-effective, shared file storage powered by the popular OpenZFS file system, and is designed to deliver sub-millisecond latencies and multi-GB/s of throughput along with rich ZFS-powered data management capabilities (like snapshots, data cloning, and compression). It offers two deployment types: Single-AZ (built with a single file server in a single AZ) and Multi-AZ (built with a pair of file servers along with storage volumes in two different AZs with automatic replication and failover support). And, within the Single-AZ deployment type, the latest generation, Single-AZ 2, offers double the performance scalability as compared to the previous generation (Single-AZ 1), and delivers a high-speed NVMe read cache that automatically caches your most recently-accessed data, making it suitable for high-performance workloads such as media processing and rendering, financial analytics, and machine learning. Starting today, customers can launch and use Multi-AZ file systems in the seven additional AWS Regions mentioned above, and Single-AZ 2 file systems in the two additional AWS Regions mentioned above.
