AWS DataSync now supports virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint policies, allowing you to control access to DataSync API operations through DataSync VPC service endpoints and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3 enabled VPC service endpoints. This new feature helps organizations strengthen their security posture and meet compliance requirements when accessing DataSync API operations through VPC endpoints. VPC endpoint policies allow you to restrict specific DataSync API actions accessed through your VPC endpoints. For example, you can control which AWS principals can access DataSync operations such as CreateTask, StartTaskExecution, or ListAgents. These policies work in conjunction with identity-based policies and resource-based policies to secure access in your AWS environment. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DataSync is available. For more information about FIPS 140-3 at AWS, visit FIPS 140-3 Compliance. To learn more about VPC endpoint policies for AWS DataSync, see the AWS DataSync User Guide.

AWS DataSync now supports configuration updates for all supported storage locations, including Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, Amazon FSx for Lustre, Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, Amazon FSx for OpenZFS, and Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. With this enhancement, you can update storage locations directly, removing the need to delete and create new locations in order to update key parameters. AWS DataSync is a high-speed data transfer service that securely and reliably copies data over a network. With this new capability, you gain greater flexibility in managing data transfer configurations across supported AWS storage services. With configuration update support extended to Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, and Amazon FSx storage locations, you can now adjust properties, such as access roles, directory paths, and authentication credentials, without recreating tasks and locations, making it easier than ever to adapt DataSync tasks to meet your evolving business needs. This new capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DataSync is available, except the China (Beijing) and the China (Ningxia) Regions. To get started, visit the AWS DataSync console. To learn more, view the AWS DataSync documentation.

AWS DataSync customers can now transfer data directly between storage in other clouds and Amazon S3, without needing to deploy DataSync agents. This new capability uses DataSync Enhanced mode to deliver increased performance and scalability, helping customers streamline their data pipelines and accelerate migrations from other clouds to AWS. AWS DataSync is a secure, reliable, high-speed data transfer service that simplifies moving data over networks. This launch enables direct transfers to and from storage services in other clouds including Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, and Oracle Cloud Object Storage. Using Enhanced mode, this new capability provides faster transfer speeds through parallel processing of data preparation, transfer, and verification, while supporting virtually unlimited object counts. Customers can monitor transfers using detailed metrics and reporting capabilities, all with a simplified setup that requires no agent deployment. This new capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DataSync is offered. To get started, visit the AWS DataSync console. For more information, see the AWS DataSync documentation.

AWS DataSync now supports Kerberos authentication for self-managed file servers that use the Server Message Block (SMB) network protocol. This update provides enhanced security options for connecting to SMB file servers commonly found in Microsoft Windows environments. DataSync is a secure, high-speed data transfer service that simplifies and accelerates moving data over a network. It automates copying files and objects between AWS Storage services, on-premises storage, and other clouds. DataSync uses protocols like SMB to transfer data to and from network storage systems. With this launch, you can configure your DataSync SMB locations to authenticate access to your storage using Kerberos, in addition to existing support for NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication. DataSync supports any Kerberos server, such as Microsoft Active Directory, that implements Kerberos protocol version 5. Kerberos authentication is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DataSync is offered. To get started, visit the AWS DataSync console. To learn more, refer to the AWS DataSync documentation.
