Amazon File Cache – A High Performance Cache On AWS For Your On-Premises Fi

https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ I am pleased to announce today the availability of https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/FileCacheGuide/getting-started.html, a new high-speed cache service on AWS designed for processing file data stored in disparate locations—including on premises. Imagine you have a large data set on on-premises storage infrastructure, and your end-of-month reporting typically takes two to three days to run.

File Cache creates a file system–based cache in front of either NFS v3 file systems or S3 buckets in one or more Regions.

File Cache automatically releases the less recently used cached files to ensure the most active files are available in the cache for your applications.

Second, File Cache provides two options for importing data from your data repositories to the cache: lazy load and preload.
