<a name="administer-lustre-file-systems"></a>

FSx for Lustre provides a set of features that simplify the performance of your administrative tasks. These include the ability to take point-in-time backups, to manage file system storage quotas, to manage your storage and throughput capacity, to manage data compression, and to set maintenance windows for performing routine software patching of the system.

You can administer your FSx for Lustre file systems using the Amazon FSx Management Console, Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI), Amazon FSx API, or Amazon SDKs.
