How to attach an S3 bucket as a VOLUME to an EC2 instance

0

My boss believes that it's possible to attach an S3 bucket as a volume (NOT just as a 'mapped drive') to an EC2 instance. I've searched hard but couldn't find this being possible. Could you guide me please to any relevant resources.

You cannot directly attach an S3 bucket as a volume without the use of an additional tool. You can use an S3 Storage Gateway to present a volume, or share from an S3 bucket though: https://aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/

Hi, S3FS may be what you're looking for. Check out https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse (if you're under Linux)

I have also used rclone successfully: https://rclone.org/
