Get started with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP in BlueXP by adding credentials, creating a Connector or link, and by creating or discovering an FSx for ONTAP file system.

One Add credentials and permissions

Adding AWS credentials is required to provide BlueXP the permissions needed to create and manage FSx for ONTAP file systems. You can choose between automate permissions and read permissions.

Two Optional: Create a Connector or a link

To perform some management tasks from BlueXP, you either need a BlueXP Connector or a BlueXP workload factory link. A Connector is a virtual machine that you deploy in your VPC to manage your FSx for ONTAP file systems. A link leverages AWS Lambda to create a trust relationship and connectivity to your FSx for ONTAP file systems.

Three Create or discover an FSx for ONTAP working environment

Create your FSx for ONTAP file system directly from BlueXP or discover a file system that you've already created in your AWS environment.
