Wordpress AWS Part 3 - EFS

Elastic File System

An EFS is easy to create. Use the search box, type "EFS", click on it, click "Create file system".

Create EFS.

VPC: (choose default)
Create mount targets: (select all of it) (Take note of the default security group assigned to it. We need to do the inbound rules later.)
Choose performance mode: General Purpose (default)
Click "Create File System".

When it is all done, it looks something like this...

EFS created...

Note the "File System ID" and "DNS name". We will need it later.

How can we actually use it? We can mount it like any NFS folder, i.e. "mount -t nfs4 ...." Here's a simple demonstration of an EC2 instance mounting it (more details will be available later)...
