AWS Storage Gateway now makes it simpler and faster for you to get started with setting up and managing your hybrid cloud storage workflow with Amazon S3 File Gateway. Using the Storage Gateway management console, you can now quickly create a new file share in a single step and just a few clicks: Choose between configuring an NFS or an SMB file share. Then, connect to a new or existing Amazon S3 bucket. Lastly, finalize your file share access configuration. In addition to a refreshed look and feel, you get enhanced wizard instructions and updated in-console help panel information, helping you to seamlessly navigate the file share creation process.
Amazon S3 File Gateway enables your on-premises applications to seamlessly store files as objects in Amazon S3, and access them using industry standard file access protocols NFS and SMB. You can use Amazon S3 File Gateway for migrating on-premises file data to AWS while maintaining fast on-premises access to recently accessed data, backing up on-premises file data to AWS, and providing on-premises applications low latency access to data stored in Amazon S3.
This capability is available starting today in all AWS Regions. Visit the Storage Gateway User guide to learn more, or log into the Storage Gateway management console to get started.
