- Amazon S3 Files enables Amazon S3 buckets to be accessed as fully-featured, high-performance file systems.
- Changes in the file system are automatically synced with the S3 bucket, with fine-grained control over synchronization.
- S3 Files supports NFS v4.1+ operations and provides ~1ms latencies for active data using Amazon EFS under the hood.
- It allows data sharing across multiple compute resources without duplication, ideal for interactive workloads like AI and ML.
- S3 Files eliminates the trade-off between S3's durability/cost and file system interactivity, simplifying cloud architectures.
- Pricing is based on stored data in the file system, file operations, and S3 requests during synchronization.
- S3 Files is available in all commercial AWS Regions, integrating with IAM for access control and encryption.
