Great Tool for Read and Write Scalability
Amazon Elastic File System is being used in certain departments of the organization. This is a great tool as it handles the scalability of the filesystem so that multiple instances of EC2 can write and monitor the updates simultaneously. The capacity in this can be easily adjusted and no overhead management is needed.
- This is very easy to setup and has a great performance.
- As per the name, Elastic grows as your data grows.
- We can run multiple EC2 instances.
- For multiple small files, EFS performance might get degraded.
- Doesn't have a great compatibility with Redhat 6.
- Bit expensive
Amazon EFS provide you scalable elastic file system with ease of integration of your past setup.My company already using multiple Amazon services AWS cloud so Amazon EFS is very helpful.
I am from analytics team but I have used this in project with out Tech engineering team.
We need large file system where rdbms and other resource is not helpful and we start using elastic file system.
It is started from project level and now it used completed department not company level but our department which consist of engineering team, analytics team and category product managers. System are now using Amazon EFS

- Easy Integration
- No problem like in RDBMS
- Cloud script to maintain EFS dynamically
- For early age start it would be costly
- Not necessary for small scale system, but very beneficial for system which have high TPS and huge user base

EFS is simple, highly-available NFS for your cloud environment.
We use EFS for back-end storage for our larger systems and platforms. It adequately solves the business problem of file-as-a-service. Rather than spin up a few VMs and employ something like DRBD, EFS will provide a highly-available, scalable NFS export that can be mounted in multiple availability zones. It has just enough options to make it robust and enterprise-ready while keeping it simple to set up in just a few clicks.
- EFS is easily made high-availability.
- EFS is simple to implement.
- EFS uses native NFS file-sharing protocol.
- EFS could be made highly-available across regions.
- EFS could be made with a better on-premise extension than Cloud Gateway.
- EFS could be made to support CIFS/SMB.
