AWS EFS with EC2 for Shared File Storage

Building scalable applications on AWS often requires a robust solution for shared file storage across multiple compute instances. Discover how to implement shared, scalable file storage for your applications running on AWS EC2 instances. This course will guide you through the process of setting up, configuring, and securing Elastic File System (EFS) with EC2, empowering you to build more resilient and distributed applications. What you'll learn: * Understand EFS core concepts and its role in cloud-native architectures * Configure EFS file systems and mount targets within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) * Integrate EFS with EC2 instances, including security group configurations for secure access * Implement best practices for securing EFS access and managing file permissions * Understand EFS performance modes and throughput settings for various workloads * Apply basic lifecycle management strategies for EFS data * Practice mounting and unmounting EFS file systems on Linux-based EC2 instances The course begins with foundational concepts of cloud storage and EFS architecture, then progresses through practical deployment steps and configuration details. You will start with core concepts and gradually build up to practical deployment and management, ensuring a solid understanding of shared file systems in the cloud. This course is designed for beginners in cloud computing who want to understand and implement shared file storage solutions on AWS. No prior experience with EFS or EC2 is required.
