AWS – Mountpoint for Amazon S3 now lets you automatically mount your S3 buckets using fstab

Mountpoint for Amazon S3 now lets you automatically mount an S3 bucket when your Amazon EC2 instance starts up. This simplifies how you define a consistent mounting configuration that automatically applies when your instance starts up and persists the mount when the instance reboots.

Previously, to use Mountpoint for Amazon S3, you had to manually mount an S3 bucket after every boot and validate the correct mount options. Now, with support for automatic bucket mounting, you can add your Mountpoint configuration to the fstab file so it is automatically applied every time your instance starts up. Linux system administrators commonly use fstab to manage mount configurations centrally. It contains information about all the available mounts on your compute instance. Once you modify the fstab file to add a new entry for Mountpoint for Amazon S3, your EC2 instance will read the configuration to automatically mount the S3 bucket whenever it restarts.

Mountpoint for Amazon S3 is an open source project backed by AWS support, which means customers with AWS Business and Enterprise Support plans get 24/7 access to cloud support engineers. To get started, visit the GitHub page and product overview page.
