AWS launches Amazon S3 Files, which makes Amazon S3 accessible as a file system

AWS introduced Amazon S3 Files, allowing S3 buckets to be mounted and used like a file system over NFS.

An Amazon EFS-based translation layer converts file operations into S3 requests and supports shared access from many clients.

The feature closes a key usability gap between object storage and traditional file systems, making S3 easier to adopt for file-oriented workloads.
