Use Amazon EFS with Amazon EC2
Note
Amazon EFS is not supported on Windows instances. To use Amazon EFS with a Linux instance, see Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.
Amazon EFS provides scalable file storage for use with Amazon EC2. You can use an EFS file system as
a common data source for workloads and applications running on multiple instances. For more
information, see the Amazon Elastic File System product page
Note
When you create an EFS file system using EFS Quick Create, the file system is created with the following service recommended settings:
-
Mount targets in each default subnet in the selected VPC.
-
Encryption of data at rest enabled using your default key for Amazon EFS (
aws/elasticfilesystem
). -
Amazon EFS lifecycle management enabled with a 30-day policy.
