Amazon DataSync Enhanced mode now supports Amazon EFS and Amazon FSx for Lustre without requiring an agent

Posted on: Jul 28, 2026

Amazon DataSync Enhanced mode now supports Amazon EFS and Amazon FSx for Lustre, enabling customers to use these as source or destination locations for their Enhanced mode tasks.

Amazon DataSync is a secure, high-speed data transfer service that simplifies moving data over a network. Enhanced mode processes data in parallel, removes file count limitations, and provides detailed transfer metrics. Previously, customers who wanted to move data to or from EFS or FSx for Lustre were limited to Basic mode. Now customers can use Enhanced mode for these locations, simplifying workflows for large-scale migrations, agentic AI and machine learning training, high performance computing, genomics processing, and media rendering.

To get started, visit the Amazon DataSync console. For more information, see the Amazon DataSync documentation.
