S3 is files, but not a filesystem

Read Original

This technical article analyzes Amazon S3, arguing it is commonly mistaken for a cloud filesystem. It contrasts S3's design with the Unix file API, using the concept of 'deep' modules (like filesystems) versus 'shallow' ones to explain the fundamental interface mismatch and why S3 cannot directly replace a traditional filesystem.
