Description

It seems that mounting an S3 bucket on parallelcluster is already possible through postinstall tasks: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-hpc-s3mountpoint. Same may be possible for [S3 Files](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/features/files/).
Is possible or planned to enable _s3mountpoint_ and or _S3 Files_ via `SharedStorage` https://docs.aws.amazon.com/parallelcluster/latest/ug/SharedStorage-v3.html such that one can chose to enable readonly access?

Research direction

Start with the SharedStorage v3 documentation and the linked aws-hpc-s3mountpoint postinstall-task example. Compare the proposed s3mountpoint and S3 Files approaches, including readonly access, and define what configuration would enable each under SharedStorage.
