It is designed to provide shared, persistent storage for <a href=\"..\/Cloud-Computing\/\">Cloud Computing<\/a> workloads. Unlike <a href=\"..\/Amazon-EBS\/\">Amazon EBS<\/a>, which is typically attached to a single <a href=\"..\/Amazon-EC2\/\">Amazon EC2<\/a> instance, <a href=\"..\/Amazon-EFS\/\">Amazon EFS<\/a> can be accessed concurrently by thousands of compute instances, including <a href=\"..\/AWS-Lambda\/\">AWS Lambda<\/a> functions and <a href=\"..\/Amazon-ECS\/\">Amazon ECS<\/a> containers.<\/p><p>The service is built to be <a href=\"..\/POSIX\/\">POSIX<\/a>-compliant, ensuring compatibility with standard file system operations and permissions. <a href=\"..\/Amazon-EFS\/\">Amazon EFS<\/a> offers two main performance modes: General Purpose, which is ideal for latency-sensitive applications like content management systems, and Max I\/O, which scales to higher levels of aggregate throughput for big data analysis. Additionally, it features <a href=\"..\/Lifecycle-Management\/\">Lifecycle Management<\/a>, which automatically moves infrequently accessed files to the <a href=\"..\/EFS-Infrequent-Access\/\">EFS Infrequent Access<\/a> storage class to reduce costs.<\/p><p>For further technical details, consult the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.aws.amazon.com\/efs\/latest\/ug\/whatisefs.html\">AWS EFS Documentation<\/a> or explore the <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/efs\/features\/\">EFS Product Features<\/a> page.<\/p><ul><li><a href=\"..\/Amazon-EC2\/\">Amazon-EC2<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"..\/Amazon-EBS\/\">Amazon-EBS<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"..\/Amazon-S3\/\">Amazon-S3<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"..\/AWS-Lambda\/\">AWS-Lambda<\/a><\/li><\/ul>",
