s3fs with CORTX

Inspiration

For a storage system, the most intuitive way to utilise a storage system is to make it as if it's a local filesystem (unlike other NodeJS, SDKs etc)

What it does

It will connect the CORTX storage via s3fs (FUSE), which will act as a filesystem to the end user. This works on Linux and MacOS

How we built it

We decided that reproducibility is important, therefore we built it in Docker, to ensure that it is easily replicable. It connects to the CORTX storage via the S3 Layer

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This should be the first filesystem integration in CORTX repository

What's next for s3fs with CORTX

This could potentially be a precursor to many other integrations such as filecoin or chia
