  • Explore savings tab: displays Elastic Block Store, FSx for Windows File Server, and Elastic File Systems storage systems. From there, you can explore savings for these systems by comparing them with FSx for ONTAP.

  • Codebox viewer: Codebox is now integrated in the link creation process. You can view and copy the CloudFormation template from Codebox in Workload Factory before redirecting to AWS to execute the operation.

  • Required permissions: The permissions required to execute the link creation in AWS CloudFormation are now available to view and copy from the Create Link wizard in Workload Factory.

  • Support for manual link creation: This feature allows standalone creation in AWS CloudFormation with manual registration of the link ARN. It's useful when a Security or DevOps team assists in the link creation process.

Read mode support for storage management

Read mode is available for storage management in Workload Factory. Read mode enhances the experience of basic mode by adding read-only permissions so that the Infrastructure-as-Code templates are filled with your specific variables. The Infrastructure-as-Code templates can be executed directly from your AWS account without providing any modify permissions to Workload Factory.
