Announcing a new generation of Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file systems

Amazon FSx for OpenZFS now offers a new generation of file systems that doubles the maximum throughput and IOPS performance of the existing generation and includes a high-speed NVMe cache.

Amazon FSx for OpenZFS provides fully managed, cost-effective, shared file storage powered by the popular OpenZFS file system. The new generation of FSx for OpenZFS file systems provides two performance improvements over the existing generation. First, new-generation file systems deliver up to 350,000 IOPS and 10 GB/s throughput for both reads and writes to persistent SSD storage. Second, they include up to 2.5 TB of high-speed NVMe storage that automatically caches your most recently-accessed data, making that data accessible at over a million of IOPS and with latencies of a few hundred microseconds. With these new-generation file systems, you can power an even broader range of high-performance workloads like media processing/rendering, financial analytics, and machine learning with simple, highly-performant NFS-accessible storage.

Starting today, you can create these new-generation FSx for OpenZFS file systems using the AWS Console, AWS CLI, or FSx API. These new file systems provide the same per-unit storage and throughput cost as existing generation file systems, and are available in four AWS Regions: US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland). For more information on new-generation file systems, please see the Amazon FSx documentation.
