Introducing the S3 PowerShell Drive in AWS Tools for PowerShell
Developer Tools Blog
This article introduces the S3 PowerShell Drive, a new feature in AWS Tools for PowerShell that enables users to mount Amazon S3 storage as a drive and interact with it using familiar file system commands.
- Mount S3 buckets as a PowerShell drive and navigate using Set-Location, Get-ChildItem, Get-Content, Set-Content, and Remove-Item
- Browse buckets and prefixes, read and write objects without composing individual S3 cmdlet calls
- Access buckets across multiple regions from a single mounted drive with automatic region detection
- Available in AWS.Tools.S3 version 5.0.288 and later on Windows, Linux, and macOS
- Scope a drive to specific buckets or prefixes for focused data views
- Stream large object listings with results arriving immediately and support for Ctrl+C interruption
The S3 PowerShell Drive simplifies ad-hoc S3 operations by providing a familiar file system interface while complementing existing S3 cmdlets for scripted and advanced operations.
