AWS DataSync Enhanced Mode Adds HDFS, Azure Blob, and Object Storage Locations With Hyper-V Agent Support
AWS, Tuesday, July 28th, 2026
DataSync Enhanced mode extends agent-based transfers to HDFS, Azure Blob Storage, and self-managed object storage.
AWS DataSync Enhanced mode now supports agent-based data transfers with Hadoop Distributed File Systems, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, and self-managed object storage. Enhanced mode agents can additionally be deployed on Microsoft Hyper-V, alongside existing hypervisor options.
Enhanced mode processes data in parallel, removes file count limitations, and provides detailed transfer metrics that the classic mode lacked.
The additions bring large-scale migration sources that previously required the older mode into the faster path. It is aimed at Hadoop decommissioning and cross-cloud migration projects.
