SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Choosing among AWS storage services (S3, EFS, FSx, EBS) and answering cost, performance, security, and troubleshooting questions is difficult because specifications, limits, and pricing change frequently and each service fits different workload patterns. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Service Selection: Classifies requests as SELECT or INVESTIGATE, then recommends object, file, or block storage based on workload context, access patterns, performance, durability, and availability requirements. - Operational Guidance: Provides configuration, migration, data protection, cost optimization, and troubleshooting answers grounded in per-service reference files and current AWS documentation. - Use Case: A user migrating an on-premises NetApp NAS to AWS asks which service to choose; the skill evaluates protocols, data management needs, and cost, then recommends FSx for NetApp ONTAP with alternatives and migration guidance via DataSync. ## Quick Start Ask which AWS storage service fits your workload, for example: which storage should I use for shared NFS access from EKS containers?

Frequently Asked Questions about aws-storage

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between AWS storage services for my workload?▼

Classify your need as object, file, or block storage, then evaluate workload context, capacity and access patterns, performance requirements, durability targets, and availability needs. The skill maps these factors to candidates like S3, EFS, FSx variants, or EBS with cost implications included.

What is the difference between EFS and FSx for Lustre?▼

EFS is serverless elastic NFS for shared Linux file access across many clients with no capacity planning. FSx for Lustre is a parallel file system delivering very high aggregate throughput for HPC, ML training, and genomics workloads with native S3 integration.

Does this skill cover RDS, DynamoDB, or Athena?▼

No. The skill explicitly excludes managed database services (RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB), SQL query engines (Athena, Spark, Redshift, EMR), ETL (Glue), and streaming services (Kafka, MSK, Kinesis). It covers only object, file, and block storage plus data movement and protection services.

How do I migrate on-premises files to AWS storage?▼

Use AWS DataSync for online transfers from NFS, SMB, or other sources to S3, EFS, or FSx, or Storage Gateway for hybrid cached access. The skill's data movement reference covers source protocols, network paths, and per-GB transfer pricing considerations.

Why are my S3 requests returning 503 SlowDown errors?▼

S3 returns 503 SlowDown when request rates exceed prefix capacity. Spread objects across prefixes and retry with exponential backoff and jitter; for S3 Express One Zone, add an s3express gateway VPC endpoint if throughput is capped on a private subnet.

Can FSx file data be accessed through the S3 API?▼

Yes. S3 Access Points for FSx expose FSx for NetApp ONTAP and FSx for OpenZFS data through the S3 API without copying it to a bucket, enabling S3-native consumers and serverless applications to read file-resident data.
