Do I need to configure Transfer Family Availability Zones?

Question

In reading up on Transfer Family resiliency [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transfer/latest/userguide/disaster-recovery-resiliency.html), it says "Transfer Family supports up to 3 Availability Zones".  The way that is written makes it sound like it can be a single AZ, two, or three.  When I create my Transfer Family Server for SFTP, I cannot find any options for configuring resiliency.  I assume given it is a managed service that the resiliency is handled for me behind the scenes, but just wanted to confirm given how the documentation is worded.

Accepted Answer

Hi, yes, it is a fully managed service. As such, resiliency is managed by the service: you do not have to take care it by yourself.

See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transfer/latest/userguide/what-is-aws-transfer-family.html
