We have been needing this very thing for hosting a large number of assets across multiple ec2 instances. Hope they roll this out quickly.

- fi788 12y agoI believe it is to be released Summer 2015. I've applied for the Preview though.
- kolencherry 12y agoFor what it's worth, We've found that if you contact your account manager @ AWS, the preview access requests can be pushed through faster.
- nkozyra 12y agoFor the record, there has never been anything stopping you from spinning up an NFS EC2 that all of your other EC2s can use.
- jdub 12y agoExcept that your one EC2 instance is a single point of failure, from instance through host through availability zone, and that providing reliable, multi-node NFS is hard (even with GlusterFS). And you have to resize your block devices to store more stuff. And... And... :-)
- nkozyra 12y agoWell, this is a problem with a lot of ephemeral services hand-spun on AWS. There are also ways of mitigating it on your instances, but those are clunky, too. Which is why new services like these are always preferable.
- netcraft 12y agoThis may be a problem for this new service as well, but with windows isn't there a problem getting a network drive to mount without a user physically logging into the machine?
- graceofs 12y agoIf you need something like EFS today, there is ObjectiveFS (https://ObjectiveFS.com https://ObjectiveFS.com), a posix cloud file system with S3 backend. Disclaimer: I am a co-founder :-)
