Maximizing Cloud Infrastructure: An In-Depth Guide to AWS EFS

AWS EFS Elastic File System
2

• Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) is a
  fully-managed, scalable, and elastic cloud file
  storage service that provides shared access to
  file data from multiple Amazon EC2 instances and
  other AWS resources.
• EFS is built on a distributed file system that
  automatically scales as your storage needs grow,
  so you don't need to worry about provisioning
  capacity ahead of time.
• EFS is designed to be highly available and
  durable, with data stored across multiple
  availability zones within a region for resilience
  against failures.

• EFS SUPPORTS BOTH THE NETWORK FILE SYSTEM VERSION
  4 (NFSV4) AND THE NFSV4.1 PROTOCOLS, WHICH MAKES
  IT COMPATIBLE WITH A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
  AND WORKLOADS.
• EFS PROVIDES STRONG CONSISTENCY, WHICH MEANS THAT
  DATA IS IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR ALL READERS AND
  WRITERS ACROSS ALL INSTANCES.
• EFS ALSO PROVIDES A VARIETY OF PERFORMANCE MODES
  AND THROUGHPUT MODES TO OPTIMIZE THE FILE SYSTEM
  FOR YOUR SPECIFIC USE CASE.

4

• EFS INTEGRATES WITH OTHER AWS SERVICES LIKE AWS
  IDENTITY AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT (IAM), AMAZON
  CLOUDWATCH, AND AWS CLOUDTRAIL FOR EASY
  MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING.
• EFS SUPPORTS ENCRYPTION AT REST AND IN TRANSIT,
  AND PROVIDES A RANGE OF SECURITY FEATURES TO HELP
  PROTECT YOUR DATA.
• EFS ALSO SUPPORTS LIFECYCLE POLICIES, WHICH CAN
  AUTOMATICALLY MOVE FILES BETWEEN PERFORMANCE AND
  STORAGE TIERS BASED ON ACCESS PATTERNS AND USAGE,
  TO HELP REDUCE COSTS.
