In this section, you can find instructions about how to download, deploy, and activate your file gateway.
With a file gateway, you store and retrieve objects in Amazon S3 with a local cache for low latency access to your most recently used data.
If you have previously created a gateway in this AWS Region, the console shows your gateway. Otherwise, the service homepage appears.
If you haven't created a gateway in the AWS Region that you chose, choose Get started. If you already have a gateway in the AWS Region that you chose, choose Gateways from the navigation pane, and then choose Create gateway.
On the Select gateway type page, choose File gateway, and then choose Next.
The following screenshot shows the activation page for a file gateway.
On the Configure local disks page, identify the disks you added and decide which ones you want to allocate for cached storage. For information about disk size limits, see Recommended Local Disk Sizes For Your Gateway.
