Amazon File Cache Hybrid NFS linked datasets Icon

Amazon File Cache is a fully managed caching service that speeds up access to your existing on-premises NFS file shares. It creates a cache of frequently accessed files in the cloud, allowing applications running on Amazon EC2 or other AWS services to access that data with significantly lower latency than accessing the files directly over the network. This hybrid approach combines the performance of a local file system with the scalability and cost-effectiveness of cloud storage, making it particularly useful for applications that require high-throughput and low-latency file access to large datasets.
