Access FSx for Windows over the public internet?

0

A customer is interested in accessing FSx for Windows from remote clients and their office network without using VPN since they only have a few users and are not storing sensitive data.

  • Is it possible to expose FSx over public internet? It seems that FSx only gets assigned a private IP.
  • Are there any workarounds that can be done that will be cheaper than running VPN?

Thank You!

Exposing to the internet would not be recommended, for any type of data unless it's meant to be publicly consumed.

it may be less costly to run a self managed S2S VPN or Client to site VPN and access FSx that way. They could alternatively leverage a bastion host in AWS secured to the IP Range of their corp offices, to log onto to access FSX without a VPN.

  • Hi Rob, How about accessing FSX from a Windows EC2 but not joined to the domain. Possible to access using UNC path of FSX share and providing the credentials? Please advise.
