Looks like if setup correctly, the pipe between EC2 and S3 just got a big upgrade. I was curious how this impacts S3FS. My assumption is that it would realize the benefits of this upgrade, but maybe it is not so simple :)

"Traffic to and from Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) can now take advantage of up to 25 Gbps of bandwidth. Previously, traffic of this type had access to 5 Gbps of bandwidth. This will be of benefit to applications that access large amounts of data in S3 or that make use of S3 for backup and restore."

That is a lot of bandwidth! I suspect that s3fs needs some tuning to take advantage of this. @orozery added some performance improvements a few months ago so I encourage you to test with the latst version and report back. It would also be interesting to compare with goofys.

Was not familiar with goofys so thanks for the tip. In terms of testing i will look at what would be involved and report back once I have some time to undertake it.

Sounds very interesting. Were you able to allocate some time to investigate?

I have not. We have prioritized stability vs speed at the moment so I have not looked at this

You should test with master which has some performance improvements. Also see #743 which suggests tuning -o multipart_size.

Newer versions of s3fs improve write speed. #941 tracks automatically tuning the part sizes. We do expect AWS ENA to improve performance.
