Creating an AWS DataSync agent

AWS DataSync provides several types of agents for different storage environments. For example, you can use a VMware ESXi agent to work with an on-premises file system.

Creating an agent involves the following steps:

  1. Configure your network so that your agent can communicate with your storage system and AWS.

  2. Deploy your agent as close to your storage system as possible.

  3. Choose a service endpoint that your agent uses to communicate with AWS.

  4. Activate your agent.
