I think it is worth mentioning that Azure offer something similar with Samba / CIFS/ SMB protocol. [1] This is the underlying tech that powered their Docker volume plugin as well [2] I'm using in production for serving up small images to some web servers, and I'm currently in playground with docker stuff. So far, so good. I'm impressed. [1] https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-how-to-use-files/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sto...

A notable difference is that Azure file shares have a 5 TB limit for the whole share, and a 1 TB limit on the size of any given file [1], while EFS has no limit on the size of the file system, and a 52 TB limit on the size of any given file.
