AWS just launched S3 Files (GA April 7, 2026) — mount any S3 general purpose bucket as an NFS file system on EC2, EKS, ECS, Lambda, or Fargate. Built on EFS infrastructure with ~1ms latency. No code changes needed.
After 20 years of globally unique bucket names, AWS introduced Account Regional Namespace for S3 on March 12, 2026. Bucket names now only need to be unique within your AWS account and region. No more naming hacks.
