    Hello jgofaws,

    Thanks for the reply.

    S3 is an object storage service, not a file system. It does not primarily support the NFSv4 protocol (explicitly mentioned in the scenario) or POSIX-compliant, making it unsuitable for EC2 instances that require file-based access. Additionally, while S3 does offer a feature called Object Lock for data immutability, it does not support file-level locking for concurrent file modifications, which is necessary for scenarios where multiple servers need to access and modify the same file simultaneously.

    For more information about “Rapidly changing data”, please refer to this.

    I hope this helps! Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Best regards,
    JR @ Tutorials Dojo
