Customers can now create Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file systems in the US West (N. California) region. Customers can also now create Multi-AZ file systems in the Canada (Central) region.

Amazon FSx for OpenZFS provides fully managed, cost-effective, shared file storage powered by the popular OpenZFS file system, and is designed to deliver sub-millisecond latencies and multi-GB/s throughput along with rich ZFS-powered data management capabilities (like snapshots, data cloning, and compression). It offers two deployment types: Single-AZ (built with a single file server in a single AZ) and Multi-AZ (built with a pair of file servers along with storage volumes in two different AZs with automatic replication and failover support). Starting today, customers can launch and use both Single-AZ and Multi-AZ file systems in US West (N. California) region, and they can launch and use Multi-AZ file systems (in addition to Single-AZ, which was already supported) in the Canada (Central) region.
