Amazon FSx for Lustre provides additional performance metrics and an enhanced monitoring dashboard
Amazon FSx for Lustre, a service that provides high-performance, cost-effective, and scalable file storage for compute workloads, now provides additional performance metrics for improved visibility into file system activity and an enhanced monitoring dashboard with performance insights and recommendations. You can use the new Amazon Cloudwatch metrics and dashboard to right-size your file systems and optimize performance and costs.
Previously, you could use performance metrics to monitor the file system storage capacity, throughput and IOPS delivered by the storage system, the primary performance characteristics for most workloads. Now, using additional performance metrics that include server- and disk-level resource utilization, you can optimize performance and costs across an even wider range of compute- and GPU-intensive workloads, such as machine learning, high performance computing (HPC), video processing, and financial modeling. The enhanced monitoring dashboard provides actionable performance recommendations. For example, if your workload is network throughput-limited you can increase the file system throughput performance with a few clicks.
These additional performance metrics and updated monitoring dashboard are available now, at no additional cost, for all new and existing file systems in all commercial AWS Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
