Amazon S3 Files Turns Any Bucket Into A High-Performance, Shared File System

AWS has introduced S3 Files, which lets customers mount S3 buckets as high‑performance file systems from EC2, containers, and Lambda while still accessing the same data via S3 APIs. This effectively makes S3 a central shared file hub—supporting NFS v4.1 operations, multi‑cluster access without duplication, and interactive workloads like ML training and agentic AI systems without the usual object‑vs‑file tradeoffs.

AvePoint/Omdia: Governance And Compliance, Not Tech, Are The Top AI Roadblocks For MSP Customers

New research from AvePoint and Omdia finds 51% of MSPs cite governance and compliance challenges as the primary barrier holding customers back from AI adoption, ahead of data/security management, value realization, and skills gaps. The study also highlights strong demand for unified governance platforms and integrated backup/recovery, arguing that AI readiness is now an operational discipline MSPs must productize—not just a technical stack to deploy.

StreamNative’s Lakestream Makes Kafka Topics And Iceberg Tables The Same Object

StreamNative has unveiled its Lakestream architecture and Ursa for Kafka (UFK), a service that unifies data streaming and the lakehouse by writing streams directly to open table formats like Iceberg and Delta Lake. In this model, a Kafka topic and an Iceberg table can literally be the same underlying object in cloud object storage, coordinated by a Lakestream Catalog and stateless protocol servers so Kafka, Pulsar, and others can all write to one storage layer without connectors or batch movement.

Solutions Review is Getting Set to Host P0 Security for the Spotlight event: Top Five Production Risks Lurking in Privileged Access on April 23

Modern engineering teams ship constantly. The cloud changes daily. Pipelines run all day. On-call needs access right now. And now agentic apps are starting to act on their own. Most privileged access controls weren’t built for that pace. So teams do what they have to do: grant broad permissions, reuse credentials, leave access in place “just in case.” Those shortcuts don’t fail loudly. They quietly turn into unmanaged paths into production.

In this session, Neha Duggal and Kelsey Brazill will walk through five production resources where standing privilege creates outsized risk:

Solutions Review is Getting Set to Host P0 Security for the Spotlight event: Top Five Production Risks Lurking in Privileged Access on April 23

In the hour-long webinar, two experts from P0 Security will outline how standing privilege in cloud infrastructure, databases with sensitive data, code repos, deployment workflows, agentic applications, servers, and automated applications can create risks. Viewers will also learn how to identify the most common “standing privilege signals” in each of those areas, why legacy models break down, how to reduce blast radius, make ownership and accountability less painful, and more.
