New – Amazon FSx for OpenZFS

https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ Last month, my colleague https://www.linkedin.com/in/billvass/ said that we are “slowly adding additional file systems” to https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/. Amazon FSx for OpenZFS Today I am happy to announce Amazon FSx for OpenZFS, the newest addition to the https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/ family.

Using Amazon FSx for OpenZFS I can create an OpenZFS file system using the https://console.aws.amazon.com, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/fsx/, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/APIReference/welcome.html, or https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/.

I review the settings and click Create file system: My file system is ready within a minute or two, and I click Attach to get the proper commands to mount it to my client: To be more precise, I am mounting the root volume (/fsx) of my file system.

The file system remains active and mounted while the change is put into effect, but some operations may pause momentarily: A single OpenZFS file system can contain multiple volumes, each with separate quotas (overall volume storage, per-user storage, and per-group storage) and compression settings.
