This product has charges associated with it for seller support. NFS (Network File System) is a distributed file-sharing protocol that enables users and applications to access files and directories on remote servers as if they were stored locally.
Overview
Network File System (NFS) is a widely used distributed file system protocol that allows computers to share files and directories over a network. Originally developed by Sun Microsystems, NFS enables seamless access to remote storage resources, making them appear as part of the local file system. This simplifies file sharing, centralized storage management, and collaboration across Linux, Unix, and mixed-network environments.
NFS is commonly used in enterprise infrastructures, cloud environments, data centers, development platforms, and high-performance computing clusters. By mounting remote directories on client systems, users and applications can read, write, and manage files without needing to manually transfer data between machines. Modern NFS implementations support advanced features such as improved security, file locking, performance optimizations, and support for large-scale deployments.
The latest versions of NFS, including NFSv4.2, provide enhanced security through stronger authentication methods, improved network efficiency, stateful connections, and support for modern storage workloads. NFS remains one of the most reliable and efficient solutions for centralized file sharing in Linux and Unix-based environments.
Highlights
- Supports centralized file sharing across multiple systems with seamless remote access.
- Provides high-performance, scalable, and secure network storage using NFSv4.2 and later features.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run this NFS server on. The 21 dimensions map to different EC2 instance sizes across several families. General-purpose t2 and t3 options range from nano through 2xlarge, letting you match compute to your file-sharing load. The m3, m4, and m5 dimensions add more memory and balance. Compute-focused c3, c4, and c5 options suit heavier processing. The r3, r4, and r5 dimensions target memory-intensive workloads. Your hourly cost rises with instance size and capacity. You select one instance type based on storage and client demand.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. The rate bundles the pre-configured NFS server software with the underlying compute. You pay separately for AWS storage volumes attached to that instance, since the NFS data lives on those volumes.
Hourly software charges accrue only while the instance runs. A stopped instance stops the software meter. However, any attached AWS storage volumes holding your shared files continue to incur AWS storage fees while the instance is stopped, since that data is retained.
Yes. The environment supports vertical scaling by moving to an instance type with more compute or memory. You select one instance type per deployment, and your hourly rate then follows that type. Maintenance support from the vendor includes upgrade assistance for scaling storage and client access.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
