Hello Arun,
We’ve checked this on our end, and upon checking, Amazon FSx for Windows File Server does not have built-in auto-scaling like some other AWS services. However, you can manually scale storage and throughput capacity as needed.
The option that says: Create an Amazon CloudWatch Alarm to monitor the FreeStorageCapacity metric of the file system. Write an AWS Lambda Function to increase the capacity of the Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system using the update-file-system command. Utilize Amazon EventBridge to invoke this Lambda function when the metric threshold is reached is correct because this approach automates capacity adjustments, ensuring seamless user access without manual intervention.
I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any further questions.
Best regards,
