[Amazon FSx for OpenZFS](https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/openzfs/) now supports on-demand data replication across AWS opt-in Regions, enabling you to easily and efficiently transfer incremental point-in-time snapshots of your volumes beyond AWS Regions that are enabled by default. On-demand data replication provides a simple and resilient way to implement disaster recovery, replicate production data to a different Region or account, and enable lower latency data access for your global customer base or workforce. Amazon FSx for OpenZFS provides fully managed, cost-effective, shared file storage powered by the popular OpenZFS file system, with rich data management capabilities like snapshots, data cloning, and compression, along with sub-millisecond latencies and up to 10 GB/s of throughput. Opt-in Regions are AWS Regions that are disabled by default, in contrast to regions that are enabled by default. Previously, on-demand data replication was supported only between accounts in AWS Regions that are enabled by default. Starting today, you can replicate snapshots to and from opt-in Regions, expanding the AWS Regions where you can build cross-Region disaster recovery and data distribution architectures. On-demand data replication across opt-in Regions is available in all [AWS Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) where Amazon FSx for OpenZFS is offered, including the supported opt-in Regions. There is no additional charge for on-demand data replication. Standard AWS data transfer charges apply when replicating across AWS Regions or accounts. To get started, visit the [Amazon FSx console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/fsx/) or refer to the [on-demand replication documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/OpenZFSGuide/on-demand-replication.html).
