We use EFS as a shared file system for a WebServer application, it's easy to mount of linux servers and all of them can read or write to the same storage. Excellent response time and no need to provision storage beforehand.
- No limit on IOPS
- No limit on storage size
- Can optimize cost by using infrequent access tier
- Integration with Windows instances is not supported
- Reduce administration burden of storage
- Reduce over-all cost by using infrequent access tier
EFS is easier to configure, no need for Active Directory.
