Elastic File System (EFS)
- EFS is block based storage.
- AWS Elastic File System storage capacity is elastic (grows /shrinks as needed) unlike EBS
- NFS V4 protocol
- 30 cents/GB month
- Multi AZ’s
- Thousands of concurrent connections are supported
- Read after write consistancy
- Create a EFS
- Provide AZ’s subnets, ips (optional)
- the mount name and instructions to mount (Linux only. Windows is not supported currently as of 2018)
- Permissions at folder/file level possible by IAM. Amazon EFS allows you to tightly control access to your file systems through POSIX permissions. Use Amazon VPC to manage network access.
- EBS can be mounted to single EC2 instance where as EFS can be mounted by multiple EC2 instances
- You can also mount Amazon EFS file systems on your on-premises datacenter servers via the NFSv4 protocol when connected to your Amazon VPC with AWS Direct Connect.
- Encrypt your data at rest and in transit for a comprehensive solution securing both stored data and data in flight.
