🚨 S3 is no longer just Object Storage.
Yesterday (April 7, 2026), AWS officially launched Amazon S3 Files.
This is the biggest update to S3 in 20 years.
It can:
→ Mount S3 buckets as native file systems
→ Provide sub-millisecond file access
→ Handle POSIX permissions (UID/GID) natively
→ Connect to Lambda, EC2, and EKS directly
→ Eliminate the need for s3fs or data staging
Your AI agents can read/write to S3 like a local disk, while your data team access the same objects via API.
DevOps just got a massive upgrade.
