AWS introduces S3 Files, allowing S3 buckets to mount as NFS filesystems after two decades of requiring data duplication. The service delivers 1ms latencies for 25,000 simultaneous connections, potentially streamlining AI workflows that previously needed separate file storage. Pricing matches EFS at $0.30/GB-month, though a 32KB minimum metering charge may affect metadata-heavy applications. #CloudInfrastructure #AWS #StorageSystems
