FSx for ONTAP Allows QoS Burst Default Changes in ONTAP 9.19.1, But Only via ONTAP Interfaces

A tester checked whether the QoS burst defaults introduced in ONTAP 9.19.1 can be modified on Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, as on-premises systems allow. On a live file system running ONTAP 9.19.1P2 in the ap-northeast-1 region, the settings were accepted and a brief throughput overshoot above the ceiling occurred as configured. However, the burst settings cannot be changed through the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI, and must instead be set directly through ONTAP's own REST API or CLI. The author notes that QoS ceilings help prevent noisy-neighbor problems on shared file systems, and that burst lets workloads briefly exceed those limits during events like startup. The post does not verify whether burst settings can be reverted or how they affect cost and features like SnapMirror.
