Guidance for Building a PoC for Amazon FSx for Lustre

Go to sample code

Overview

This Guidance helps users deploy and configure optimal proof-of-concept (PoC) deployments of Amazon FSx for Lustre through deployment and configuration recommendations in addition to AWS CloudFormation templates. Using this Guidance, users can quickly and easily deploy a PoC environment that allows them to test a high-performance FSx for Lustre file system and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. This approach helps users evaluate suitability for their workloads across performance, scale, integration, and functional testing, whether they’re using their own applications or the example tools provided.

How it works

These technical details feature an architecture diagram to illustrate how to effectively use this solution. The architecture diagram shows the key components and their interactions, providing an overview of the architecture's structure and functionality step-by-step.

Benefits

Deploy and evaluate FSx for Lustre capabilities within hours using automated templates. Quickly assess performance benchmarks for your specific workload requirements.

Test FSx for Lustre with pre-configured tools or your applications through a streamlined deployment framework. Reduce PoC setup time from weeks to hours.

Use the templates to evaluate different FSx deployment types (SCRATCH and PERSISTENT-SSD storage, along with standalone or s3-linked FSx file systems) to align with your performance and budget needs. Test actual workloads before full-scale deployment.
