So, let's do a quick overview
of Amazon FSx and FSx is not something
you're expected to know how to create, okay?
But it's good for us to just see the options.
So, let's create a file system,
as you can see we have three options today
but it's possible, and I won't record the lesson every time
there's a new file system that appears.
So, we have NetApp ONTAP.
We have Windows File Server and Lustre,
but the exam will really focus on the Windows File Server
and the Lustre type of file systems for FSx, okay?
So let's consider just Windows File Server.
So this is going to give us a managed Windows File Server
file system, and then I click on next.
And we can see the different options we have.
So we have multi-AZ versus single-AZ
and definitely, you wanna use a multi-AZ for production
and single-AZ for testing.
And you get more information around
what is going to be the difference between single-AZ 2
and single-AZ 1
so, single-AZ 2 is the latest single-AZ FSx deployment,
and can take a cost optimized HDD storage,
and whereas this one supports using Microsoft DFS-R
the single-AZ 1 and multi-AZ, just make sure that
while your whole file system is across to AZ
which is very handy.
Storage type do you want SSD or HDD,
and then the size of your windows file server,
So between 32 gigabytes and 64 terabytes, okay?
Then based on whatever you said so for example,
I say, 16,000 gigabytes, based on what you say,
then the throughput capacity is going to be either
the recommended one,
or you can specify what throughput you want
for your file system.
Okay.
Then you choose wherever you launch it.
So in a VPC with different subnets and so on,
you integrate with windows authentication
because this is a Windows File Server.
You can encrypt it and then you can control the auditing,
you can control the access,
the backup and maintenance and so on.
But again, we keep things at a high level
just to show you the important things
that you can have a multi-AZ
versus a single-AZ, SSD versus HDD,
provision capacity for throughputs
and you can specify the source capacity as well in advance.
Okay.
Next, if you go to Amazon FSx for Luster,
so this is for High Performance Computing, so HPC,
and this is super important to know.
So I click on next,
and we have this file system so we have two options
we can get a persistence on SSD or HDD, okay?
Or we can get a scratch SDD,
and you can get the difference again between processing
file system and scratch file system here.
So persistent is good for longer term storage and workloads,
and the data is going to be replicated
in case the servers fail.
And the scratch file systems are ideal for temporary storage
and short-term processing of data,
the data is not replicated and it does not persist
if a file server fails, okay?
So we can do persistence SSD for example,
and we can define it throughputs.
So do we want to have 100 megabytes per second,
per terabyte of storage?
And then how many terabytes do you want?
So 1.2 terabytes sounds great,
which gives us a throughput of 128 megabytes per second.
Do we want compression on the data?
And what version of Lustre do we want?
Then we have the same settings from before so and network
settings, encryption settings,
in ports and Becca maintenance.
So this is it for FSx again, very high level,
just so we can see the options,
important to understand is Windows File Server
for multi-AZ and Lustre
for persistence of versus crutch file system.
And you should be good to go.
So that's it for this lecture,
I hope you liked it, and I will see you in the next lecture.
