What is EFS?

Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) is a scalable, elastic, cloud-native NFS file system for Linux-based workloads. It provides shared file storage, automatically growing and shrinking as you add and remove files, so your applications have the storage they need, when they need it. It is commonly used for big data analytics, media processing workflows, content management, web serving, application development and testing, and database backups.
