Re:The core S3 API is beautiful by londons_explore on Tuesday December 31, 2019 @03:50AM (#21919779)
But that same simplicity makes it unsuitable for some things.

Swap-to-S3 should totally be viable, but the protocol overhead for small requests largely makes it useless for that.

Likewise, it's very hard to use hardware acceleration to construct read/write requests to S3, or DMA an S3 response direct into RAM.

Sure, S3 isn't designed for that stuff, but the protocol shouldn't be the limiting factor.
