Evaluate and implement storage tiering strategies including S3 data repository associations for FSx for Lustre.
Conduct root cause analysis for storage incidents and drive MTTR improvements through monitoring (CloudWatch, Datadog) and alerting pipelines.

Evaluate AWS FSx roadmap releases and advise on adoption impact for existing workloads.
