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, and encrypted file storage for use with both AWS cloud services and on-premises resources. Amazon EFS is built to be able to grow and shrink automatically as files are added and removed. Amazon EFS supports Network File System (NFS) versions 4.0 and 4.1 (NFSv4) protocol, and control access to files through Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) permissions.

Use cases

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.

Data consistency

Amazon EFS provides open-after-close consistency semantics that applications expect from NFS.
