Mountpoint-S3 Alternatives: POSIX-Compatible, High-Performance S3 for Linux and Serverless in AWS

Mountpoint-S3 Alternatives: POSIX-Compatible, High-Performance S3 for Linux and Serverless in AWS

Mountpoint for Amazon S3 connects AWS S3 buckets to Linux filesystems. While intended to bridge the gap between object storage and filesystems (and Kubernetes using a CSI driver), it has several downsides that cause problems for developers: it has limited POSIX compatibility, limited directory handling and file editing, and inconsistent file writing behavior. This article …

Is POSIX Outdated in the Cloud Era?

POSIX — the Portable Operating System Interface — is the standard API used by UNIX and conforming non-UNIX (including Windows) operating systems to maintain compatibility with each other. The POSIX standard allows applications written for one operating system to work on others with minimal-to-no reworking depending on the other APIs required, greatly reducing the complexity …

cunoFS is a High Performance POSIX Layer for Object Storage

Implementing cost-effective, scalable storage has traditionally presented problems to developers. While object storage is cheap and scalable, it requires that existing tools be adapted to work with cloud providers' APIs rather than the filesystem.  Historically, tools that bridge the gaps between object storage and POSIX environments have suffered limitations — particularly poor performance, scalability, or the …
