## AWS - Create EFS
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
Two EC2 instances in different availability zones
|
|
|
|
### Objectives
|
|
|
|
1. Create an EFS with the following properties
|
|
1. Set lifecycle management to 60 days
|
|
2. The mode should match a use case of scaling to high levels of throughput and I/O operations per second
|
|
2. Mount the EFS in both of your EC2 instances
|
|
|
|
### Solution
|
|
|
|
1. Go to EFS console
|
|
2. Click on "Create file system"
|
|
3. Create on "customize"
|
|
1. Set lifecycle management to "60 days since last access"
|
|
2. Set Performance mode to "MAX I/O" due to the requirement of "Scaling to high levels of throughput"
|
|
3. Click on "Next"
|
|
4. Choose security group to attach (if you don't have any, create one and make sure it has a rule to allow NFS traffic) and click on "Next" until you are able to review and create it
|
|
5. SSH into your EC2 instances
|
|
1. Run `sudo yum install -y amazon-efs-utils`
|
|
2. Run `mkdir efs`
|
|
3. If you go to your EFS page and click on "Attach", you can see what ways are there to mount your EFS on your instancess
|
|
1. The command to mount the EFS should be similar to `sudo mount -t efs -o tls <EFS name>:/ efs` - copy and paste it in your ec2 instance's OS
