Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) is a cloud storage service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) designed to provide scalable, elastic, concurrent with some restrictions, [3] and encrypted [4] file storage for use with both AWS cloud services and on-premises resources. [5] Amazon EFS is built to be able to grow [6] and shrink automatically as files are added and removed. Amazon EFS supports Network File System (NFS) versions 4.0 and 4.1 (NFSv4) protocol, [7] and control access to files through Portable Operating System Interface ( POSIX) permissions. [8]
According to Amazon, use cases for this file system service typically include content repositories, development environments, web server farms, home directories and big data applications. [9]
Amazon EFS provides open-after-close consistency semantics that applications expect from NFS. [3]
Amazon EFS is available in all the public AWS regions at least since December 2019. [10]
