Techniques for filesystem durable write operations to cloud object storage are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving at least one of a read operation or a write operation from a filesystem layer. The read operation identifies content stored in a distributed content object storage layer that is to be retrieved and the write operation identifies content that is to be stored to the distributed content object storage layer. The method includes converting the read operation into a get operation or the write operation into a put operation. The method further includes storing an index that maps the read or write operation to the get or put operation and includes an association between the content identified by the filesystem layer to objects in the distributed content object storage layer. The method includes sending the get or put operation to the distributed content object storage layer for the identified content.
