☐ Elastic Throughput is ideal for spiky and unpredictable workloads with performance requirements that are difficult to forecast.
☐ When you enable Elastic Throughput on an EFS file system, you no longer need to think about actively managing your file system performance or over-paying for idle resources in order to ensure performance for your applications.
☐ When you enable Elastic Throughput, you don’t specify or provision throughput capacity, EFS automatically delivers the throughput performance your application needs while you the builder pays only for the amount of data read or written.
Elastic Throughput allows you to drive throughput:
🔹
READ — up to 3 GiB/s🔸
WRITE — up to 1 GiB/s#EFS
