Limitations of AWS Elastic File System(EFS)
There are a few limitations to consider when using AWS Elastic File System (EFS).
- EFS only supports the Network File System (NFS) protocol, so it can only be mounted and accessed by devices that support NFS.
- EFS has a maximum file size of 47.9 TB.
- EFS has a maximum throughput of 1000 MB/s per file system and a maximum of 16,000 IOPS per file system.
- EFS has a maximum number of files and directories that can be created within a single file system, which is determined by the size of the file system. For example, a 1 TB file system can support up to about 20 million files and directories.
- EFS is only available in certain regions, and it is not possible to migrate data between regions.
