Hello, my name is Will Meadows and today we'll be talking about Amazon FSx, a service that can help you run file based workloads across multiple instances, cost effectively and with great scale. This lecture will cover both FSx for Windows file system and FSx for Luster, the two choices you have when deploying an FSx workload. 

If you have any questions about anything I cover in this series, please let me know at will.meadows@cloudacademy.com. Alternatively, you can always get in touch with us here at Cloud Academy by sending an email to support@cloudacademy.com, and one of our Cloud experts will reply to your question, concern or comment. 

Who should attend this course? I'd recommend this course for any solutions architects or developers who wanna understand how to create a shared file system within AWS. This course is also helpful if you're looking to understand the difference between FSx and Amazon EFS, the Elastic File System. 

Learning objectives. After completing this course, you'll understand when to use Amazon FSx for a Windows file server, when to use FSx for Luster and the difference between the two. You'll also learn why you'd want to use FSx versus EFS. 

Prerequisites. You should have a decent understanding of cloud computing and cloud architectures, specifically with Amazon web services. You should have some familiarity with shared file systems, though it's not a hard requirement.
