Posted on: Dec 18, 2024

AWS DataSync now supports configuration updates for all supported storage locations, including Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, Amazon FSx for Lustre, Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, Amazon FSx for OpenZFS, and Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. With this enhancement, you can update storage locations directly, removing the need to delete and create new locations in order to update key parameters.

AWS DataSync is a high-speed data transfer service that securely and reliably copies data over a network. With this new capability, you gain greater flexibility in managing data transfer configurations across supported AWS storage services. With configuration update support extended to Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, and Amazon FSx storage locations, you can now adjust properties, such as access roles, directory paths, and authentication credentials, without recreating tasks and locations, making it easier than ever to adapt DataSync tasks to meet your evolving business needs.

This new capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DataSync is available, except the China (Beijing) and the China (Ningxia) Regions. To get started, visit the AWS DataSync console. To learn more, view the AWS DataSync documentation.
