[3/100] #100DaysOfCloud Today, I created an Elastic File System (EFS), mounted it to two instances in two separate Availability Zones in the same Region, created a text file on one instance and accessed it from the other instance.
Elastic File Sysytem (EFS) :
EFS allows persistent storage and secure sharing of data. When you have applications or services running on multiple instances, EFS can serve as a common data source for the instances to access data securely.
With Amazon EFS, you can create a file system, mount the file system on an Amazon EC2 instance, and then read and write data to and from your file system. You can mount an Amazon EFS file system in your virtual private cloud (VPC), through the Network File System versions 4.0 and 4.1 (NFSv4) protocol.
With EFS, you can have up to 400 instances accessing the file system simultaneously. This makes AWS EFS a great fit for any use case that requires centralized shared file storage, uses like media processing, or shared code repositories.
Amazon EFS file system data can be encrypted at rest and in transit.
EFS volumes can only be used with non-Windows instances, such as Linux, that support NFS volumes.
