This feels rather...primitive for a network filesystem introduced in 2016. Where are the snapshots? Where are the subvolumes? Where's the ability to send/receive volumes/subvolumes to filesystems in other availability zones? There are also I/O limits if you have a smaller filesystem with frequently accessed data, an inability to mount on machines through vpn gateways, and a lot of other seriously rough edges. It's an interesting start to a project, but the public features feel very much lacking.

It seems like this is more of a glue layer between a more interesting backend service (EFS) and clients, but I don't know that I'd expect Amazon to do something like write a native client, versus just probably improving the NFS client behavior on Windows/Linux/... The neat trick would be if NFS 4.X grew support for communicating interesting operations like snapshotting.
