Not from Amazon, but there are third-party efforts out there, notably
PersistentFS:
http://www.persistentfs.com/
which builds a persistent filesystem for EC2 on top of S3.
Also on the EC2 front, there's Scalr, a transparent scaling system on
top of EC2:
http://code.google.com/p/scalr/
Between the two of those, Amazon's platform becomes much more high-
level.
