Related Projects

If S3QL does not suit your needs, you might be interested in one of the following projects. (Note that there are several projects named s3fs.)

  • OpenDedup. An open source de-duplicating file system that also has an S3 backend.
  • LessFS. An open source de-duplicating file system without network storage support.
  • s3fs implements basic filesystem support, including large files.
  • S3FSLite is a fork of the above-mentioned s3fs.
  • s3fs-python Stores data in Amazon S3. Compression support, no data-duplication. No development since 2011.
  • S3backer exposes S3 as a virtual block device. You can use it with any filesystem you want.
  • ObjectiveFS; a commercial AWS S3 file system. It allows file systems to be mounted simultaneously on multiple computers.
  • JungleDisk; the oldest of the s3 file systems. Commercial.
  • With EBS one can access S3 buckets as block-devices on EC2 instances. Since the block device exists "within AWS" on the EC2 instance, this circumvents many principal problems that S3Backer faces. From the EC2 instance, a created filesystem can then be exported using any network filesystem (e.g. sshfs).
  • Quillen is a snapshot-based backup program that stores its data directly in S3.
  • goofys offers better performance but less POSIX support
