Amazon FSx for OpenZFS Single-AZ (HA) file systems are now available in 17 additional AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions
Amazon Web Services has expanded availability of Amazon FSx for OpenZFS Single-AZ (HA) file systems to 17 additional regions across South America, Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific, and AWS GovCloud (US). The newly supported regions include Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Jakarta, Malaysia, Osaka, Taipei, Thailand), Canada West (Calgary), Europe (Milan, Paris, Spain, Zurich), Israel (Tel Aviv), Mexico (Central), South America (São Paulo), and AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West). Amazon FSx for OpenZFS delivers fully managed shared file storage with sub-millisecond latencies and multi-GB/s throughput, powered by the OpenZFS file system. The service includes advanced data management features such as snapshots, data cloning, and compression. Single-AZ (HA) configurations provide a cost-effective solution for workloads requiring high availability without cross-availability zone storage redundancy, making them suitable for data analytics, machine learning, and semiconductor chip design applications.
Why It Matters
This regional expansion significantly improves AWS's global coverage for high-performance file storage, enabling organizations in previously underserved markets to access enterprise-grade OpenZFS capabilities without managing infrastructure. The availability in AWS GovCloud regions is particularly significant for government and defense contractors requiring compliant cloud storage solutions.
