Network File System 2022 Server provides a file sharing solution for enterprises that have heterogeneous environments that include both Windows and non-Windows computers
Using this NFS server, you can transfer files between computers running Windows and other non-Windows operating systems, such as Linux or UNIX
NFS in Windows Server includes Server for NFS and Client for NFS. NFS server also has Client for NFS which allows it to access files stored on a non-Windows NFS server
Features
Provides multi-protocol access to the same file share over both SMB and NFS protocols from multi-platform clients
Provides non-Windows client computers access to NFS file shares
Migrate applications from one operating system to another by storing the data on file shares accessible through both SMB and NFS protocols
Supports the RPCSEC_GSS protocol, providing stronger security and allowing clients and servers to negotiate security
Supports UNIX, Linux and Windows file semantics
Takes advantage of clustered file server deployments
Navigating firewalls is easier, improving accessibility
Supports WAN-friendly compound procedures
NFS module for Windows PowerShell
UI console management of SMB and NFS shares, quotas, file screens and classification, in addition to managing clustered file servers

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for the software running on Windows Server 2022, and your rate depends on the EC2 instance type you choose. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, from small general-purpose types up to large memory, compute, storage, and GPU-optimized machines. Pricing scales with the size and capability of the instance. Larger instances offer more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware and carry higher hourly rates. You are not locked into a term; billing accrues only for the hours the server runs. Pick the instance that fits your file-sharing workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover, and what does the software rate include?
Each hourly unit maps to one running EC2 instance of the type you select. The rate covers the NFS file server software on Windows Server 2022. AWS charges for the underlying compute and storage apply separately. You pick the instance size that matches your file-sharing needs.
Am I charged when the file server instance is stopped or powered off?
The software rate meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing software charges. AWS may still bill for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the software licence counts active hours. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
How do the software charge and the AWS infrastructure charge combine on my bill?
Two charges apply for the same running hours. One is the hourly software rate tied to your chosen instance type. The other is the standard AWS charge for that instance and its storage. Both accrue while the server runs and appear on the same invoice.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
