EFS throughput

Yday, Amazon Elastic File System (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. 

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, it is possible to extend EFS’s simple, fully elastic, provisioning-free experience to even more throughput-intensive workloads, such as machine learning, genomics, and data analytics applications.
