Explicit shared-storage selection and versioning context.
Key points
- FSx provides specific managed file-system families selected from workload protocol and behavior requirements.
Best-known use cases
- D1.3, D2.3, and D3.2: operate the named FSx family when its file-system semantics match the workload.
What candidates often confuse it with
- FSx offers managed file-system families; EFS provides managed NFS and S3 remains object storage.
