Yes, see my December 2020 post at https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-s3-update-strong-rea... :

"Effective immediately, all S3 GET, PUT, and LIST operations, as well as operations that change object tags, ACLs, or metadata, are now strongly consistent. What you write is what you will read, and the results of a LIST will be an accurate reflection of what’s in the bucket. This applies to all existing and new S3 objects, works in all regions, and is available to you at no extra charge! There’s no impact on performance, you can update an object hundreds of times per second if you’d like, and there are no global dependencies."

Thanks for the link, it made the change being talked about clearer. However, I still don't understand how it was achieved. The explanation in the link appears truncated - lots of talk about the problem, then something about a cache and that's it. Is there an alternate link that talks about the mechanics of the change?

Oh, awesome, I missed that!
