With the new Mountpoint for Amazon S3 Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver, your Kubernetes applications can access S3 objects through a file system interface, achieving high aggregate throughput without any changes to your application. Built on Mountpoint for Amazon S3, the CSI driver presents an S3 bucket as a volume accessible by containers in Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and self-managed Kubernetes clusters. As a result, distributed machine learning training jobs in Amazon EKS and self-managed Kubernetes clusters can read data from Amazon S3 at high throughput to accelerate training times.
