Support for AWS PrivateLink

Amazon FSx for Lustre, a service that provides high-

performance, cost-effective, and scalable file storage 

for compute workloads, now provides additional 

performance metrics for greater visibility into file system 

activity and an enhanced monitoring dashboard with 

performance insights and recommendations. You can 

use the new Amazon Cloudwatch metrics and dashboards

 to right-size your file system and optimize performance 

and cost.

You can use performance metrics to monitor your file 

system’s storage capacity, throughput, and IOPS delivered 

by the storage system, which are key performance 

characteristics for most workloads. Now, with additional 

performance metrics including server- and disk-level 

resource utilization, you can optimize performance and 

cost for a wider range of compute and GPU-intensive 

workloads, such as machine learning, high-performance

 computing (HPC), video processing, and financial 

modeling. The enhanced monitoring dashboard 

provides actionable performance recommendations.

When using AWS PrivateLink, communication between 

your VPC and AWS Serverless Application Repository 

occurs entirely within the AWS network, which provides 

greater security and protects your sensitive information. 

AWS PrivateLink endpoints connect your VPC directly to 

AWS Serverless Application Repository. Instances in 

your VPC do not require public IP addresses to 

communicate with the AWS Serverless Application 

Repository API. To use AWS Serverless Application 

Repository with VPC, you have two options. One is to 

connect from an instance within the VPC. The other is 

to connect your private network to the VPC using the 

AWS VPN option or AWS Direct Connect. You can 

create an AWS PrivateLink to connect to AWS Serverless 

Application Repository using the AWS Management 

Console or AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) 

commands.
