Amazon FSx for OpenZFS enables Multi-AZ file systems in shared VPCs

Amazon FSx for OpenZFS now offers the ability to create Multi-AZ file systems within shared VPCs across your AWS organization, enhancing the decentralization of network and storage management. This development allows for more flexible and efficient resource management within organizations utilizing AWS.

VPC sharing is a feature that enables resource owners, referred to as “owner accounts,” to share one or more VPC subnets with other accounts, known as “participant accounts,” within their AWS organization. These participant accounts are granted the capability to view, create, modify, delete, and manage their application resources within the subnets that have been shared with them. Previously, while participant accounts could create Single-AZ OpenZFS file systems in these shared VPCs, they were restricted to creating Multi-AZ file systems only in VPCs that they directly owned. With this new update, participant accounts can now establish any FSx for OpenZFS file system in a shared VPC, facilitating the deployment of highly available file systems alongside centralized network management.

The ability to create Multi-AZ FSx for OpenZFS file systems is available to participant accounts in all AWS Regions where Amazon FSx for OpenZFS is offered. For further details, users can refer to the FSx for OpenZFS documentation and the FSx for OpenZFS product page.
