This feature is supported on FSXN - NetApp Ontap

Answer

Hello AWS Customer.

I would like to kindly point out that at the moment, this feature is not supported, however, there is already a feature request to have this option available in the future on AWS FSx for Windows.

Since there is an existing feature request to allow instant file initialization when using FSx for Windows file systems, kindly note that product roadmaps are not shared with us as this is something that our service team is going to implement or when they would implement it. New features are typically announced on our following blogs:
