Welcome to the EFS builders session!

We'll doing a challenge on EFS performance. To get started, we'll set up an EC2 instance and an EFS file system. Instructions:

  1. Spin up an EC2 instance from AMI ami-038ae813d2c093e7d in the US-EAST-1 region. To locate the AMI, use "Launch instance" in the AWS EC2 console. Click "My AMIs", check "Shared with me", and search for the AMI ID. You'll find the AMI under "Community AMIs". Make sure you specify a security group that has inbound SSH access.

  2. Create an EFS file system. Use the General Purpose performance mode, and enable Provisioned throughput at 250 MiB/s. Make sure to delete your FS after the session as otherwise you'll have to pay for the provisioned throughput at $50/day until you can change the file system back to bursting mode 24 hours from now.

  3. Log in to the AMI as "ec2-user" and mount your newly created fs using:

    $ sudo mount -t efs $FSID /efs

  4. The challenge is described in ~/README.txt
