# AWS expands S3 access to FSx files across additional regions

_Published Monday, November 9, 2026 at 3:59 PM EST · Infrastructure · Latest · Tier 2 — Notable_

AWS has expanded Amazon S3 Access Points for FSx for NetApp ONTAP to 4 additional regions and for FSx for OpenZFS to 20 additional regions. The feature lets applications using the S3 API access files while the data stays on its FSx file system, without copying or moving it.

Customers can connect those files to services including Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, Athena and AWS Glue for AI, queries and data transformation. The expansion spans regions across North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Africa; supported locations differ by file system.
