Thanks for the suggestion! We're looking into what's possible for Windows support, but nothing concrete to share right now.

I have a customer who wants the same Mountpoint functionality available on Linux today, but for Windows hosts. This is relevant for their transcoding and rendering workloads

You can use rclone in the interim :)

I see multiple customer use cases for Windows support in the Media & Entertainment Industry

+1 here too. This would unlock a few workloads for us.

+1 Have considered rclone mount but it currently has some significant performance limitations. Our check boxes are:

API/CLI to accommodate some orchestration wrapper to manage what is mounted when and where, and help get creds
Fast reads (parallel/threaded, configurable readahead a bonus)
Supports session tokens
Minimal supply chain risk
Windows support

This repo is close :)

Am curious if anyone has tried using this utility or something like goofys within WSL, and if it can work to expose S3 data to the Windows side. And if it's relatively performant.

Such is an experiment I'd like to try, but haven't been able to find time yet for it.

Okay, I did try using this on WSL and learned:

There are two versions of WSL
One can't use FUSE drivers in WSL version 1, so this or goofys aren't options
But one can with WSL version 2, and I found evidence online of people using Mountpoint in such
WSL version 2 requires a suitably new Windows build, newer than what AWS Workspaces currently support out of the box with their Server 2019-based image.

Not the droid I was looking for. I'm going to +1 here again. :) +1
