EFS

Elastic File System (EFS)

• Serverless, fully elastic file storage for EC2.

  • Meaning that it automatically grows and shrinks as you add and remove files with no need for management or provisioning.

• Simple, scalable for Linux-based workloads for use with Cloud services and on-premise resources.

  • Built to scale on demand without disrupting applications.

• Designed to provide massively parallel shared access to thoursands of EC2 instances.

  • This means that it is a good shareable storage for different services.

• Amazon EFS is a regional service storing data within and across multiple Availability Zones (AZs) for extremely high-durability (99.999999999%) and high-availability (99.99%).

• Supports protocol NFSv4 (Network File System v4).
