ZeroFS vs. Amazon S3 Files
- Amazon S3 Files and ZeroFS expose POSIX filesystems backed by object storage, but the shared interface hides opposite bucket layouts.
- The choice turns on the role of the bucket: if files must remain ordinary S3 objects, S3 Files preserves that identity; if the bucket can be an internal persistence layer, ZeroFS trades direct S3 access for packing, compression, and client-side encryption.
- Storage layout The defining property of S3 Files, which is built using Amazon EFS, is that images/cat.jpg on the mount corresponds to the same key in the bucket, with changes flowing in both directions.
