AWS Backup now supports logically air-gapped vaults for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, enabling secure immutable backups with cross-account sharing and direct restore capabilities.

AWS Backup logically air-gapped vault now supports Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. Logically air-gapped vaults are a type of AWS Backup vault that allows secure sharing of backups across accounts and AWS Organizations, supporting direct restore to reduce recovery time from a data loss event. You can now protect your Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP volumes in logically air-gapped vaults. A logically air-gapped vault stores immutable backups that are locked by default, and isolated with encryption using AWS owned keys or customer-managed keys. You can store your FSx for NetApp ONTAP backups in a logically air-gapped vault in the same account or across other accounts and Regions. This helps reduce the risk of downtime, ensure business continuity, and meet compliance and disaster recovery requirements. You can get started using the AWS Backup console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS SDKs. Target FSx for NetApp ONTAP backups to a logically air-gapped vault by specifying it as the primary target or copy destination in your backup plan. Share the vault for recovery or restore testing with other accounts using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM), or safeguard vault access during account compromise using Multi-party approval. Once available, you can initiate direct restore jobs from that account, eliminating the overhead of copying backups first. This support is available in all AWS Regions where both logically air-gapped vault and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP are available. For more information and detailed regional availability, visit the AWS Backup documentation. To learn more about logically air-gapped vaults, visit the feature documentation and pricing page.

In this post, we explain how S&P Global Market Intelligence implemented an innovative disaster recovery solution for their Capital IQ platform using Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. This solution enables immediate failover to read-only mode in a secondary region within 15 minutes, followed by full read-write recovery when needed. This approach achieves reduction in failover time while maintaining data consistency for global financial operations.

Amazon FSx now offers customers the option to use Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) for access to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems. More and more customers are adopting IPv6 to mitigate IPv4 address exhaustion in their private networks or to satisfy government mandates such as the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) M-21-07 memorandum. With this launch, customers can now access their file systems using IPv4, IPv6, or dual-stack clients without the need for complex infrastructure to handle IPv6 to IPv4 address translation. IPv6 support for new FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems is now available in all AWS Commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) regions where Amazon FSx is available, with IPv6 support for existing FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems coming in an upcoming weekly maintenance window.

Introduction A common approach to implementing SQL Server Always On Failover Cluster (FCI) on Amazon EC2 is using Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP (FSxN). The general approach for migrating an FSxN file systems from first to second generation is using NetApp SnapMirror. That approach works well for NAS workloads (NFS/SMB file shares) where you can [...]
