Hey LinkedIn community! 👋
Today in my "Learning in Public" series on AWS Cloud, I’m diving into Amazon Elastic File System (EFS).
File Storage Basics:
In file storage, multiple clients (users, applications, servers) can access data in shared file folders. A storage server organizes files using block storage and a local file system, allowing clients to access data via file paths.
Amazon EFS Highlights:
- Scalable: Automatically grows and shrinks with your storage needs.
- Shared Access: Supports simultaneous access by multiple EC2 instances.
- Seamless Scaling: Expands on demand to petabytes without disrupting applications.
- High Availability: Data is replicated across multiple Availability Zones.
- Use Cases: Ideal for scenarios where numerous services need to access the same data.
Why Choose Amazon EFS?
Amazon EFS simplifies file storage management, making it easier to scale applications and ensure high availability for your data.
