<p>Mountpoint for Amazon S3 can now limit memory usage, either automatically based on the environment it runs in or with a limit that you define. This lets you run Mountpoint alongside memory-intensive applications, for example, in machine learning training or analytics workloads where applications share a memory budget.</p>
<p>Previously, Mountpoint’s memory usage could expand over time based on usage patterns, potentially causing performance or stability issues when competing with other memory-intensive applications. With this launch, you can define a memory target for Mountpoint to reserve memory for your applications. Alternatively, Mountpoint can automatically determine a safe default based on the environment it runs in. For example, when running in Amazon EKS, Mountpoint can automatically detect a container's assigned memory budget. Under memory pressure, Mountpoint slows down operations to stay within this budget, enabling you to run Mountpoint in containers with strict memory allocations. &nbsp;</p>
