Amazon FSx for OpenZFS expands to support Multi-AZ file systems in shared VPCs

Amazon FSx for OpenZFS has introduced the capability to create Multi-AZ file systems within shared VPCs across AWS organizations. This development aims to facilitate the decentralization of network and storage management by enabling greater flexibility and control for users.

The feature of VPC sharing allows the owners of resources, referred to as “owner accounts,” to share one or more VPC subnets with other accounts within their AWS organization, known as “participant accounts.” Through this arrangement, participant accounts gain the ability to view, create, modify, delete, and manage their application resources within the shared subnets. Previously, participant accounts were limited to creating Single-AZ OpenZFS file systems in shared VPCs, while the creation of Multi-AZ file systems was restricted to VPCs owned by them.

With the recent enhancement, participant accounts can now establish any FSx for OpenZFS file system, including Multi-AZ configurations, within a shared VPC. This advancement allows organizations to deploy highly available file systems while maintaining centralized network management. The new capability is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon FSx for OpenZFS is offered.
