Hi All,

I  have a storage gateway with file gateway as an instance on AWS , and im trying to migrate my gateway following the doc under this url : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fr_fr/filegateway/latest/files3/migrate-data.html . 
but i found not Clear :

1/ For the instance that i should create ( if it's a new instance with an AMI of the old ) ?
2/ which instance type i should choose if i have : t3a.xlarge ?

Thank you

Answer

Hi Oussama,

In the process of using the last features of the service the last AMI available should be used. 
The instance requirements can be found in the File Gateway documentation ( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/Requirements.html ). In the meanwhile the instance type choice is tied to the usage of Gateway , monitoring resources on the gateway can help to have the best suitable instance type. ( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/Main_monitoring-gateways-common.html )

Thanks

Hello,  I'm Mike with the Storage Gateway team.

A good starting point for EC2 if you don't know your workload requirements is m5.xlarge and make the root volume of the gateway GP3.
