+# WARNING: Mountpoint for Amazon S3 is a tool that allows you to mount an S3 bucket as a file system.
+# This is now GA, but it is still hosted on the AWS Labs repositories (https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3).
+# This is considered fine for the external slurmdbd stack.
+# A deeper evaluation would be required for further uses of this tool in AWS ParallelCluster.
