Next steps for Amazon FSxN and iSCSI integration

2 mins

Congratulations! You have successfully completed this learning path. You now have an understanding of what Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP (FSxN) is, how it integrates with Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA), and how iSCSI storage can be used to support containers and virtual machines.

After completing this tutorial, you now have:

  • A basic understanding of FSxN with iSCSI and how it integrates with ROSA
  • An integrated FSx for NetApp ONTAP as a shared file system with a ROSA cluster using a Hosted Control Plane, using the NetApp Trident CSI driver for iSCSI storage
  • Experience configuring iSCSI and multipathing for iSCSI on ONTAP storage to streamline the preparation of worker nodes
  • Experience configuring the Trident backend and storage class for iSCSI
  • Strategies to use the the Trident backend and storage class for iSCSI to create containers and VMs

What comes next?

Next, learn how to integrate other services into your ROSA cluster to further enhance its performance for your organization.
