This is Google's dig at AWS S3 which is eventual consistency for object creation/listings.

If you want strong consistency for S3 consider something like JuiceFS: https://JuiceFS.io

It wraps your S3 in a strongly consistent and fast POSIX API (aka regular mountable filesystem) and its way less expensive than EFS.

Correction: S3 is strongly consistent after new object puts, but not lists, modifications, and deletes.

Definitely not as convenient but you can get strong consistency if you only rely on new objects.

That being said, I am curious as to how available/consistent S3 is versus Google cloud storage.

Additional correction: S3 is consistent after new object puts only if you haven't already asked for that object. Otherwise you may get a stale "no object" response.

So wish this was true but unfortunately it is not.
