AWS DataSync Enhanced mode adds HDFS, Azure Blob, and object storage locations with Hyper-V agent support

AWS DataSync Enhanced mode now supports agent-based data transfers with Hadoop Distributed File Systems (HDFS), Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, and self-managed object storage. Additionally, Enhanced mode agents can now be deployed on Microsoft Hyper-V. Using a DataSync agent, customers can transfer data to and from these locations with the parallelism, unlimited file counts, and detailed metrics that Enhanced mode provides.

Enhanced mode HDFS support includes multiple NameNode configurations for high availability and Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) with Kerberos authentication, enabling organizations in regulated industries to securely migrate petabyte-scale encrypted Hadoop data without sacrificing availability.

This capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DataSync is offered. To get started, visit the AWS DataSync console. For more information, see the AWS DataSync documentation.
