File system management tasks include managing a file system's network accessibility with mount targets, changing its throughput mode, updating its lifecycle policies, and managing its encryption.

You can perform these file system management tasks using the Amazon Web Services Management Console, or programmatically using the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI) or API, as discussed in the following sections.
