Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) has increased the throughput per file system to up to 20 GiB/s of read throughput and up to 5 GiB/s of write throughput.
Amazon EFS provides serverless, fully elastic file storage that makes it simple to set up and run file workloads in the AWS cloud. With Elastic Throughput, Amazon EFS automatically scales throughput performance up or down to meet your application needs, and you only pay for what you use. This launch increases the maximum throughput performance for EFS file systems using Elastic Throughput by up to 2x, to 20 GiB/s of read throughput (from 10 GiB/s) and to 5 GiB/s of write throughput (from 3 GiB/s). With these higher throughput limits, you can now extend EFS’s simple, fully elastic, provisioning-free experience to even more throughput-intensive workloads, such as machine learning, genomics, and data analytics applications.
The increased throughput limits are immediately available for EFS file systems using the Elastic Throughput mode in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe West (Dublin), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Regions. To learn more, see the Amazon EFS Documentation or create a file system using the Amazon EFS Console, API, or AWS CLI.
