They have NFS (called EFS), but it's about 10x more expensive.

  Good luck mounting EFS in Windows.

    Do you mean EFS specifically, or you find that NFS doesn't work? Because it was my recollection that Windows included NFS machinery natively

      EFS - this is what is being talked about here.

    Apparently the nfs client in windows only supports nfs v3 - while efs only supports v4. The closest I found was: http://citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/windows/readme.html http://citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/windows/readme.html Seems odd that there are no commercial nfs v4 clients for windows? Might now be possible to mount via wsl? I see ractos has nfs client - but could not figure out which version...

    WinFsp (FUSE for Windows) has an NFS driver: https://github.com/winfsp/nfs-win https://github.com/winfsp/nfs-win

    AWS also offers FSx for Windows File Server, and FSx for ONTAP if you need remote Windows file service.

      We are talking about EFS here

  I wouldn’t give a number because the pricing models are fairly different and the real cost will depend on how you’re using it and how easy it is to shift your access patterns. On my apps using EFA, that 10x is more like .8-1.1x — an easy call versus rewriting a bunch of code.
