Description
EFS is a wonderful product. Now that the stunnel proxy has been migrated to a custom Rust binary, I'm wondering why Windows Server would be hard to support as a client:
- Has native NFS support
- Rust can compile to Windows and so the existing tunnel support shouldn't be complex to port
- AWS CLI tools are already available on Windows and so support for the core API integrations are likely already available
Am I missing anything?
FYI, I'm currently looking at spinning up additional Linux systems to act as an interface but it does add overhead, particularly to maintain encryption end-to-end.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Begin by reviewing the existing Rust stunnel proxy and the AWS CLI/API integration assumptions, then determine whether first-class Windows Server client support is feasible and what work would be required.
