Last month, Bill Vass mentioned that we are “slowly adding additional file systems” to Amazon FSx. I would question his definition of slow, considering that his team has launched Amazon FSx for Lustre, Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP in less than three years. Amazon FSx for OpenZFS is another exciting addition to our offerings.

Creating EBS Snapshots is straightforward, but it can be equally easy to delete them, whether manually or through the Data Lifecycle Manager to align with your organization’s retention policy. Sometimes, however, well-intentioned cleanup efforts can lead to accidental deletions. The new recycle bin feature mitigates this risk.
