Creating Amazon Elastic File System

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) provides scalable file storage for use with Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS Cloud

In AWS console click EFS under storage

Click create file system

Select availability zone when you want this EFS to spread to

Set name and performance mode

Click Amazon EC2 mount instructions

Because i’m using Amazon image, only one command i need to use (the last one)-copy it to clipboard

VM to which we want to attach EFS,needs to be member of default security group

click on VM-Actions-Networking-Change Security Groups

Click on default one,in VM create new folder (mount point) and mount EFS

mkdir /mounts
sudo mount -t nfs4 -nfsvers=4.1,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2 fs-f2dc103b.efs.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com:/ /mount
findmnt | grep '/mount'
