AWS DataSync Enhanced mode now supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication for Google Cloud Storage and Microsoft Azure Blob Storage locations. DataSync uses an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role to get short-lived credentials from Google Cloud or Microsoft Entra ID and refreshes them automatically so your transfers run without interruption. You can now use DataSync to access your Google Cloud Storage and Azure Blob Storage without long-term credentials such as hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) keys or shared access signature (SAS) tokens. This lets you move data across clouds while complying with security policies that might prohibit long-term credentials. You can get started by adding an IAM role to your DataSync location with the AWS CLI, API, or AWS CloudFormation. This capability is available in all AWS Regions where DataSync Enhanced mode is supported. To learn more, visit the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datasync/latest/userguide/what-is-datasync.html.

AWS DataSync Enhanced mode now supports FSx for Windows File Server, FSx for NetApp ONTAP, and Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization for expanded data transfer capabilities.

AWS DataSync Enhanced mode now supports Amazon FSx for Windows File Server and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP as source or destination locations. You can now run Windows to Windows transfers, such as from an on-premises file server to FSx for Windows File Server. Additionally, Enhanced mode agents can now run on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization version 4.20 or later. With this launch, you can use the same location options in Enhanced mode as in Basic mode. Enhanced mode processes data in parallel for higher performance, removes file count limitations, and provides detailed data transfer metrics. OpenShift Virtualization expands your agent deployment options alongside VMware ESXi, KVM, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Amazon EC2. You can get started by choosing Enhanced mode when you create a task in the https://console.aws.amazon.com/datasync/home. These capabilities are available in all AWS Regions where DataSync Enhanced mode is supported. To learn more, visit the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datasync/latest/userguide/what-is-datasync.html.

What happens when you need to migrate between separate ONTAP file systems but have multiple long-lived clones? Whether you are moving from on-premises NetApp to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, between FSx file systems, or across AWS accounts, preserving these clone relationships becomes critical. Standard file-based migration tools like rsync, robocopy, or AWS DataSync have [...]
