File: securityhub/latest/userguide/fsx-controls.md

Summary

Removed controls FSx.3, FSx.4, and FSx.5 related to Multi-AZ deployment checks for OpenZFS, NetApp ONTAP, and Windows File Server. Updated formatting and phrasing for remaining controls FSx.1 and FSx.2 (tagging requirements).

Security assessment

The removed controls were related to high availability (Recover category) but there's no evidence this change addresses a specific security vulnerability. The remaining changes are formatting improvements and minor phrasing adjustments without introducing new security content.

-
-Amazon FSx for OpenZFS supports several deployment types for file systems: _Multi-AZ (HA)_ , _Single-AZ (HA)_ , and _Single-AZ (non-HA)_. The deployment types offer different levels of availability and durability. Multi-AZ (HA) file systems are composed of a high-availability (HA) pair of file servers that are spread across two Availability Zones (AZs). We recommend using the Multi-AZ (HA) deployment type for most production workloads due to the high availability and durability model that it provides.
-
-### Remediation
-
-You can configure an Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file system to use the Multi-AZ deployment type when you create the file system. You can't change the deployment type for an existing FSx for OpenZFS file system.
-
-For information about deployment types and options for FSx for OpenZFS file systems, see [Availability and durability for Amazon FSx for OpenZFS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/OpenZFSGuide/availability-durability.html) and [Managing file system resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/OpenZFSGuide/managing-file-systems.html) in the _Amazon FSx for OpenZFS User Guide_.

-This control checks whether an Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file system is configured to use a multiple Availability Zones (Multi-AZ) deployment type. The control fails if the file system isn't configured to use a Multi-AZ deployment type. You can optionally specify a list of deployment types to include in the evaluation.
-
-Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP supports several deployment types for file systems: _Single-AZ 1_ , _Single-AZ 2_ , _Multi-AZ 1_ , and _Multi-AZ 2_. The deployment types offer different levels of availability and durability. We recommend using a Multi-AZ deployment type for most production workloads due to the high availability and durability model that Multi-AZ deployment types provide. Multi-AZ file systems support all the availability and durability features of Single-AZ file systems. In addition, they're designed to provide continuous availability to data even when an Availability Zone (AZ) is unavailable.
-
-### Remediation
-
-You can't change the deployment type for an existing Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file system. However, you can back up the data, and then restore it on a new file system that uses a Multi-AZ deployment type.
-
-For information about deployment types and options for FSx for ONTAP file systems, see [Availability, durability, and deployment options](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/ONTAPGuide/high-availability-AZ.html) and [Managing file systems](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/ONTAPGuide/managing-file-systems.html) in the _FSx for ONTAP User Guide_.

-
-Amazon FSx for Windows File Server supports two deployment types for file systems: _Single-AZ_ and _Multi-AZ_. The deployment types offer different levels of availability and durability. Single-AZ file systems are composed of a single Windows file server instance and a set of storage volumes within a single Availability Zone (AZ). Multi-AZ file systems are composed of a high-availability cluster of Windows file servers spread across two Availability Zones. We recommend using the Multi-AZ deployment type for most production workloads due to the high availability and durability model that it provides.
-
-### Remediation
-
-You can configure an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system to use the Multi-AZ deployment type when you create the file system. You can't change the deployment type for an existing FSx for Windows File Server file system.
