Elastic File Share
- So far we are dealing with Block storages which will act as disk drives connected to your virtual machine.
- Now we have to attach some common storage to multiple ec2 instances
- Lets create two ec2 instances in the Same AZ
- AWS Elastic File Share can be mounted by multiple linux instances within the same region => ideally with in same AZ but AWS with standard mode creates redundancy and synchronization between EFS in different AZ’s of same region
- Lets create an efs
- EFS Performance options
- Bursting
- Provisioned
- While create the VPC i have restricted the AZ’s to be us-east-1a and us-east-1d.
- Check the mount instructions
- Refer Here for the user guide.
- Install Efs-client Refer Here
- Now mount using the instructions
Activity
