Get started creating a NetApp Connector for Amazon Q Business using your organization's data that exists on Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems. After you create a connector, end users can access the Amazon Q Business assistant for organization-focused responses to their questions.

One Log in to Workload Factory

You'll need to set up an account with Workload Factory and log in using one of the console experiences.

Two Set up your environment to meet GenAI requirements

You'll need AWS credentials to deploy the AWS infrastructure, a deployed and discovered FSx for ONTAP file system, the list of data sources that you want to integrate in your connector, access to the Amazon Q Business application, and more.

Learn more about GenAI requirements.

Three Identify the FSx for ONTAP file system that contains the data sources

The data sources that you'll integrate in your connector can be located on a single FSx for ONTAP file system, or on multiple FSx for ONTAP file systems. If these systems are in different VPCs, they must either be accessible within the same network, or the VPCs must be peered and using the same region and AWS account as the AI engine.

Learn how to identify data sources.

Four Deploy the GenAI infrastructure

Launch the infrastructure deployment wizard to deploy the GenAI infrastructure in your AWS environment. This process deploys an EC2 instance for the NetApp GenAI engine, and a volume on an FSx for ONTAP file system to contain the NetApp AI Engine databases. The volume is used to store information about the connector.

Learn how to deploy the GenAI infrastructure.

What's next

You can now create a connector for Amazon Q Business to provide organization-focused responses to end users.
