Running your application storage on-premises can be complex and costly. Join us for a hands-on, collaborative workshop where we discuss our latest file-services offering for Windows workloads, Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, and discuss specific customer use cases and common scenarios. Learn about the latest enterprise-ready features, how to choose the right performance for your workload, and how to easily launch a FSx Windows file system to help scale your file-based applications. Discussion and questions are welcome.
