I wonder what you all are using for EFS? I guess for larger models in ML (like NLP transformer stuff) it makes sense. I have observed myself moving everything i could to a DB and if i cant mostly S3. But for both there will be a latency pulling the data.

- mwcampbell 5y agoI ran a Dovecot IMAP server using EFS for a while, before moving it to a leased dedicated server (i.e. away from AWS) with local NVMe storage. And that move did make it noticeably faster in addition to reducing the cost.
- electroly 5y agoI think there's very little "proper" usage for EFS. That is to say: if you had infinite time and dev resources, you'd pick something else because other options are faster and cheaper. But it is very easy to set up EFS and start using it since it's just a filesystem. The time it takes to migrate from "my code deals with local files" to "my code deals with networked files" with EFS is about 15 minutes regardless of what you're doing with the files. S3 can't say that. I think EFS's value proposition is more about that convenience than it is about actually being an appropriate tech choice when considered in a vacuum.
