I will recommend the product to others. We are partners. Our clients moved from on-premise setup to the cloud. We suggested AWS to them. We have configured the product based on the best practices. We also monitor the solution for recommendations in the Security Hub. We try to get the data encrypted properly within our repository. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

My company uses Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) to provide scalability in the area of storage in the cloud services covered under AWS. The tool is suitable for a wide range of use cases, including two big data analytics and media processing workflows. The tool automatically scales up its system storage capacity. The tool also removes unused files or unused data, or it will remove the files and add certain files. For multiple Amazon EC2 instances, one can use Amazon EFS (Elastic File System).

Speaking about Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) in relation to disaster recovery, I can say that RDS is available in EC2 instances, where users can store any file. Suppose a user has a web application that is hosted on AWS services, and if such a user faces any critical component of the application in the database hosted on AWS services, then it is possible to check the configuration files stored in Amazon EFS (Elastic File System), while also being able to check the capabilities and any critical issues faced by the hosting service after it is possible to recover the data with the help of data replication, cross-region duplication, and snapshot backup. Users have to assign automation backup, so it is possible to have a backup with Amazon EFS (Elastic File System).

The most beneficial feature of the product for data storage stems from the fact that it serves as a shared file storage. With Amazon EFS (Elastic File System), its users can share data with multiple services, which Amazon fully manages. With the product, users have manual capability planning. The tool also helps with storage management. With the tool, it is possible to automatically scale up based on storage needs. The product also offers manual intervention, along with the shared file system mounted into multiple EC2 instances. Amazon EFS offers multiple AZs.

The scalability feature of Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) has impacted our company's storage solutions since it automatically scales up, as we have assigned it as a part of AWS services. In our company, we can automatically scale up for better services based on the request load. The tool can also be used for dynamic scaling, or users can apply it for multi-AZ replication. The scalability feature can be used under Amazon EFS performance mode.

For security purposes, as a part of AWS, Amazon takes care of the main part of Amazon EFS (Elastic File System). To access any service, my company has to provide the IP addresses and port numbers. My company has virtual private clouds and AZs for network security. My company also has access to both public and private subnets. In our company, we can save on a private subnet. In the private subnet, users don't have any internet access. Right? If you need to access data from the private subnet to the public subnet, then you can add a NAT gateway to access such data.

The integration of Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) with other AWS services has enhanced our company's infrastructure. It is possible to integrate Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) with AWS EC2 instances, AWS Lambda, Amazon EKS, Amaand AWS RDS.

The integration of Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) with other AWS services has enhanced our company's infrastructure. It is possible to integrate Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) with AWS EC2 instances, Amazon S3, AWS Lambda, Amazon EKS, and Amazon RDS.

I would recommend Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) or NFS to those planning to use it, and Amazon EBS can be considered as a secondary option.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

It a great scalable and stable solution, but just use Unix or Linux servers on-premises or in the Amazon cloud. I won't recommend using a Network File System to connect to Windows Servers.

I would rate Amazon EFS a nine out of ten.
