-Mountpoint for Amazon S3 is a high-throughput open source file client for mounting an Amazon S3 general purpose bucket as a local file system. With Mountpoint, your applications can access objects stored in Amazon S3 through file system operations, such as open and read. Mountpoint automatically translates these operations into S3 object API calls, giving your applications access to the elastic storage and throughput of Amazon S3 through a file interface.

-Mountpoint supports basic file system operations, and can read files up to 5 TB in size. It can list and read existing files, and it can create new ones. It cannot modify existing files or delete directories, and it does not support symbolic links or file locking. Mountpoint is ideal for applications that do not need all of the features of a shared file system and POSIX-style permissions but require Amazon S3's elastic throughput to read and write large S3 datasets. For details, see [Mountpoint file system behavior](https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3/blob/main/doc/SEMANTICS.md) on GitHub. For workloads that require full POSIX support, we recommend [Amazon FSx for Lustre](https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/lustre/) and its [support for linking S3 buckets](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/LustreGuide/create-dra-linked-data-repo.html).
