Amazon S3 Files
AWSStorageFile-system interface over existing S3 buckets — supports NFS v4.1+ create / read / update / delete operations so multiple compute resources can share S3 data without copying it to a separate filesystem, eliminating the data-silo problem ML-training and agentic-AI pipelines hit when their compute needs file semantics but their corpus lives in object storage
