Note

This table of quotas is added in AWS ParallelCluster version 3.2.0.

† AWS ParallelCluster only supports mounting existing Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, Amazon FSx for OpenZFS, and File Cache systems. It doesn't support the creation of new FSx for ONTAP, FSx for OpenZFS, and File Cache systems.

Note

If you use AWS Batch as a scheduler, FSx for Lustre is only available on the cluster head node.

File Caches don't support AWS Batch schedulers.
