Deploy a web user interface to manage your Amazon EFS file systems

Publication date: July 2021

Simple File Manager for Amazon EFS helps you to directly interact with data in your Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file systems without deploying an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance. It features a web user interface (web UI) where you can browse, upload, and download files in existing EFS file systems, without specialized Linux knowledge. For example, you can use this solution to upload a machine learning (ML) model file to an Amazon EFS file system that is used by an AWS Lambda function for ML inference.

This guide provides infrastructure and configuration information for planning and deploying the Simple File Manager for Amazon EFS in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. It includes links to an AWS CloudFormation template that launches and configures the AWS services required to deploy this solution using AWS best practices for security and availability.

This implementation guide provides an overview of the Simple File Manager for Amazon EFS solution, its reference architecture and components, considerations for planning the deployment, and configuration steps for deploying the solution to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud.

The intended audience for implementing the Simple File Manager for Amazon EFS in their environment includes solution architects, business decision makers, DevOps engineers, data scientists, and cloud professionals.
