Amazon AWS EFS (Elastic File System)

So finally wait is over, Amazon unfold this in San Francisco, CA seminar.


So what is Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) ?

It’s new generation storage for the Amazon cloud lover (like me!!!)

  • Fully managed File System for EC2
  • Grows to petabyte scale , elastically (No need for pre-reserve , pay as you use)
  • It’s SSD based (Solid State Based) , so very low latency and high through
  • Highly available and durable
  • Automatically data replication across available zones (AZs) (Same way S3 do)
  • Support NFSv4

Not only has that still there are some other features as well

  • Throughout and IOPS scale automatically
  • Support for thousands of concurrent NFS connections
  • Consistent Low latency access.

Still it's in Preview but I am hoping by next winter they will launch full fledged service.
