Question

Lingesh Kumar K · Accepted Answer

Amazon EFS scales automatically by growing and shrinking storage capacity as you add or remove files, without requiring manual provisioning. It can handle thousands of concurrent connections from EC2 instances, making it ideal for highly dynamic workloads. The cost implication is that you pay only for the storage you use and the chosen storage class (Standard or Infrequent Access). However, frequent access to data in EFS IA can incur additional retrieval costs, so workload patterns should guide the choice.
