Amazon Elastic File System (EFS)
Description
Comprehensive understanding of AWS EFS including NFS concepts, performance modes, throughput modes, storage classes, and access patterns for scalable file storage.
Learning Objectives
Learners will master EFS concepts including creating and configuring file systems, understanding performance and throughput modes, implementing access points and security, configuring storage classes for cost optimization, setting up cross-region replication, and integrating EFS with EC2 and containerized applications for shared file storage scenarios.
Topics (6)
Setting up access points for application-specific access, implementing POSIX permissions, encryption at rest and in transit, and VPC security integration.
Understanding General Purpose vs Max I/O performance modes, Provisioned vs Bursting throughput modes, and selecting appropriate modes for different use cases.
Setting up automatic backups, point-in-time recovery, cross-region replication, and implementing disaster recovery strategies for file systems.
EFS integration with EC2 instances, ECS containers, EKS pods, Lambda functions, and implementing common patterns like content management and shared application data.
Understanding Standard and Infrequent Access storage classes, implementing lifecycle policies for automatic tiering, and optimizing costs based on access patterns.
Core EFS concepts including NFS protocol, file system architecture, mount targets, availability and durability characteristics, and use case scenarios.
