deploymentType

The deployment type of the FSx for Lustre file system. Scratch deployment type is designed for temporary storage and shorter-term processing of data.

SCRATCH_1 and SCRATCH_2 deployment types are best suited for when you need temporary storage and shorter-term processing of data. The SCRATCH_2 deployment type provides in-transit encryption of data and higher burst throughput capacity than SCRATCH_1.

The PERSISTENT_1 and PERSISTENT_2 deployment type is used for longer-term storage and workloads and encryption of data in transit. PERSISTENT_2 offers higher PerUnitStorageThroughput (up to 1000 MB/s/TiB) along with a lower minimum storage capacity requirement (600 GiB).
