AWS Storage & Backup

Amazon EFS

Serverless, elastic shared file system (NFS) that many servers can use at once.

  • Shared web content
  • Home directories
  • Container shared storage

Equivalent on Google Cloud

How DomainHostly helps with Amazon EFS

  • Plan: choose the right setup, size and region for your workload and budget.
  • Set up securely: configure Amazon EFS with least-privilege access, encryption and backups where they apply.
  • Migrate: move from shared hosting, your own servers or the other cloud with minimal downtime.
  • Run and optimise: monitoring, updates and regular cost reviews so you only pay for what you use.

Storage & Backup: Object, block and file storage, archives and backups for any amount of data.

What to consider: Storage & Backup

  • Match the storage type to the access pattern: object storage for files and backups, block for a server's disk, file storage for shared folders.
  • Use lifecycle rules to move old data to cheaper classes automatically.
  • Turn on versioning or backups and test a restore before you need it.
