📖 AWS re:Invent 2025 - What's new with AWS File Storage (STG203)

In this video, Christian Smith and Andy Crudge from AWS discuss file storage innovations announced at re:Invent. They cover AWS's five file storage services (FSx for Windows, OpenZFS, NetApp ONTAP, Lustre, and EFS) and recent enhancements across four key areas: price-performance optimization including EFS scale-out performance reaching 2.5M IOPS and Intelligent-Tiering for FSx Lustre; expanded data capabilities through S3 access points enabling FSx integration with Bedrock and analytics services; resilience improvements like File Server Resource Manager for Windows, anti-ransomware protection for ONTAP, and direct-to-vault backups in AWS Backup; and simplified migrations featuring FSx for ONTAP support in Amazon Elastic VMware Service and FlexCache write-back caching for global distributed workloads.
