One of the easiest ways to save money on your AWS EC2 costs especially for development environments is to only run them when there is active development and then shut them down when they are not in use.

If I had chosen a different region with greater latency, I would suspect to see a greater difference, but since the traffic was us-west-2 us-east-1 over a VPC peer using a private endpoint the only significant difference is in the Max IOPs which was definitely higher with the gateway than the local FSx system. I used the Dskspd parameters from this blog post to calculate the Max IOPS and the Max MB/s. I used the Dskspd utility to gather some performance metrics directly from us-west-2, then from us-east-1 with and without the FSx gateway. When this is completed we can see running the performance tests, that we are in fact using the IP address of the Fsx Storage Gateway File explorer browse of \\\share Client sending data to FSx Gateway at 192.168.6.81 Performance Testing of FSx Gateway We create the following DNS entries from PowerShell.Īdd-DnsServerClientSubnet -name "us-east-1" -IPv4Subnet "192.168.4.0/22"Īdd-DnsServerZoneScope -ZoneName "" -Name "us-east-1"Īdd-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName "" -A -Name "fsx1" -IPv4Address "192.168.6.81" -ZoneScope "us-east-1"Īdd-DnsServerQueryResolutionPolicy -Name "us-east-1" -Action ALLOW -ClientSubnet "eq,us-east-1" -ZoneScope "us-east-1,1" -ZoneName ""

I followed this excellent blog post by Steve Roberts to create the FSx Storage Gateway setup.

Clients in us-west-2 attach directly to the FSx server shares while the clients in us-east-1 attach to the running gateway. ) no matter if they are using the FSx file system directly or through the gateway.įor this scenario, I am using a FSx deployment in us-west-2 and a FSx Gateway deployment in us-east-1.

Meaning I only want to tell my clients to attach to a single name (i.e. In this blog post, I take the new AWS FSx Storage Gateway for a test spin together with a set of Active Directory DNS Geo-Location policies for a seamless namespace for clients that attach to the gateway.
