#344: AWS Storage Day 2019
November 20th, 2019 is our first ever AWS Storage Day. Just over a week ahead of re:Invent, we are making the first round of important announcements, and all of them are related to storage. Regardless of the AWS storage services that you use, we think you’ll find something interesting and useful with the news we are about to share.
We are launching significant new storage and data transfer features for:
• Amazon S3
• Amazon EFS
• Amazon EBS
• Amazon FSx for Windows File Server
• AWS DataSync
• AWS Storage Gateway
These launches will help improve security, increase, scalability, reduce costs, and deliver an enhanced feature set for you to utilize.
Check out our blog summary chronicling all the recent AWS storage launches and make sure to check the blog throughout the day, as well as leading up to re:Invent. We will continue to add updates as new launch material becomes available.
