are allocated. For smaller volumes, users may experience decent performance
for a period of time due to 'Burst Credits'. Over a period of weeks to months
credits may run out and performance will bottom out.
- To keep "Burst Credits" available, it may be necessary to provision more space
with 'dummy data'. However, this may get expensive.
- Another option to maintain "Burst Credits" is to use FS Cache on the server so
that AWS doesn't always have to go into EFS to access files.
- For larger volumes, allocated IOPS may not be the problem. Workloads where
many small files are written in a serialized manner are not well-suited for EFS.
EBS with an NFS server on top will perform much better.
