ADVPERF03-BP03 Use a cloud file system to store shared data between applications

File storage services (such as Amazon EFS) provide a simple way to set up and scale file systems and are widely used for big data and analytics workloads, media processing workflows, and content management scenarios. They are well-suited for distributed workloads and applications that need to share files across multiple EC2 instances.

Implementation guidance

Amazon EFS is a scalable and fully managed cloud file system that provides a simple, serverless way to share file data across AWS Cloud services and on-premises resources. In the advertising industry, Amazon EFS can be used to store and share log files, configuration files, and other data that needs to be accessed concurrently by multiple applications or instances. This is particularly useful for log processing and analysis pipelines, where data needs to be shared across multiple stages.

  • Performance modes: Amazon EFS offers both General Purpose and Max I/O performance modes.

  • Throughput modes: Choosing the correct throughput mode for your file system depends on your workload's performance requirements.

  • Cost optimization: Use Amazon EFS lifecycle policies to automatically move infrequently accessed files to the EFS Infrequent Access storage class, reducing stor

  • Mount targets: Create Amazon EFS mount targets in all availability zones to provide high availability and low latency access to your file system.

  • age costs.
