Release Notes for Gateway Appliance Software

These release notes describe the new and updated features, improvements, and fixes that are included with each version of the Amazon S3 File Gateway appliance. Each software version is identified by its release date and a unique version number.

You can determine a gateway's software version number by checking its Details page in the Storage Gateway console, or by calling the DescribeGatewayInformation API action using an Amazon CLI command similar to the following:

aws storagegateway describe-gateway-information --gateway-arn "arn:aws:storagegateway:us-west-2:123456789012:gateway/sgw-12A3456B"

The version number is returned in the SoftwareVersion field of the API response.

Note

A gateway won't report software version information under the following circumstances:

  • The gateway is offline.

  • The gateway is running older software that doesn't support version reporting.

  • The gateway type isn't S3 File Gateway.

For more information about S3 File Gateway updates, including how to modify the default automatic maintenance and update schedule for a gateway, see Managing Gateway Updates Using the Amazon Storage Gateway Console.
