AWS Transform enhanced its migration capabilities by enabling Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP as a generally available storage target for block storage workloads. This allows customers to migrate block data directly to a managed NetApp ONTAP environment during migration waves that also handle compute and network transitions, streamlining the migration process.

The integration reduces reliance on intermediate storage platforms and separate tooling, preserving existing data access patterns and operational processes. FSx for ONTAP combines ONTAP's enterprise features with AWS scalability and resiliency, delivering production-ready shared storage. This support is provided in all regions where AWS Transform and FSx for ONTAP are available, simplifying migration projects involving NetApp workloads.
