Get started with workload factory by signing up and creating an account, adding credentials so that workload factory can manage AWS resources directly, and then optimize your workloads by using Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP.

Workload factory is accessible to users as a cloud service from the web-based console. Before you get started, you should have an understanding of workload factory and operational modes.

One Sign up and create an account

Go to the workload factory console, sign up, and create an account.

Two Add AWS credentials to workload factory

This step is optional. You can use workload factory in Basic mode without adding credentials to access your AWS account. Adding AWS credentials to workload factory in either read-only mode or read/write mode gives your workload factory account the permissions needed to create and manage FSx for ONTAP file systems and to deploy and manage specific workloads, such as databases and GenAI.
