Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Elastic File System (EFS)

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.

Pros

  • As per the name, Elastic grows as your data grows.
  • We can run multiple EC2 instances.

Cons

  • For multiple small files, EFS performance might get degraded.
  • Doesn't have a great compatibility with Redhat 6.
  • Bit expensive
  • This tool is responsible for providing efficiency in multiple aspects.
  • It has a positive impact on the business outcomes.
  • Because of this tool we are having positive impact on customer retention.
