Using multiple Amazon DataSync agents for a location
For most workloads, we recommend that you use one Amazon DataSync agent for each self-managed location.
Some workloads can have tens of millions of small files, though. In these situations, we recommend up to four agents for each location.
When using multiple agents for a location, remember the following:
-
All the agents must be online to run your DataSync task.
Note If even one of the agents goes offline, you can't use the location in a task.
-
If you're using a virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint to communicate with Amazon, all the agents must use the same endpoint and subnet.
