use-case. There are several issues that can cause problems. For these reasons
GitLab does not recommend using EFS with GitLab.
- EFS bases allowed IOPS on volume size. The larger the volume, the more IOPS
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.
- 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.
In addition, avoid storing GitLab log files (e.g. those in `/var/log/gitlab`)
