About AWS DataSync
AWS DataSync is a secure, online service that automates and accelerates moving data between on-premises storage and AWS Storage services. It simplifies migration planning and reduces expensive on-premises data movement costs with a fully managed service that seamlessly scales as data loads increase. DataSync can copy data between Network File System (NFS) shares, Server Message Block (SMB) shares, Hadoop Distributed File Systems (HDFS), self-managed object storage, AWS Snowcone, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets, Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file systems, Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file systems, Amazon FSx for Lustre file systems, Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file systems, and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems. It also supports moving data between other public clouds and AWS Storage services, enabling replication, archival, or sharing of application data easily. DataSync provides end-to-end security, including data encryption and data integrity.
