AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) - Creating an EFS File System Lab

The video tutorial explains the process of creating an Elastic File System (EFS) in AWS. It covers the steps involved in setting up an EFS, including selecting a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), configuring mount targets across availability zones, and choosing performance and throughput options. The tutorial also provides instructions for mounting the EFS on Linux systems, highlighting that Windows does not support direct EFS connections. Additionally, it discusses using a Linux proxy for Windows systems and emphasizes the importance of understanding AWS storage components.

What does EFS stand for in AWS?

• Efficient File Sharing

• Electronic File Storage

• Enterprise File System

• Elastic File System

When creating an EFS, what is the first decision you need to make?

• Choosing the file system type

• Setting up user permissions

• Selecting a VPC

• Deciding on encryption settings

What is the purpose of creating multiple mount points in different availability zones?

• To simplify the configuration process

• To reduce latency by connecting to the nearest zone

• To ensure data redundancy

• To increase storage capacity

Which performance mode should you choose for applications with high I/O operations?

• Standard

• Max IO

• General Purpose

• High Performance

What is the difference between bursting and provisioned throughput modes?

• Bursting allows temporary increases in throughput, while provisioned guarantees a fixed level.

• Bursting is cheaper, while provisioned is more expensive.

• Bursting is for small files, while provisioned is for large files.

• Bursting is for read operations, while provisioned is for write operations.

Which operating system supports direct connection to EFS?

• MacOS

• Android

• Linux

• Windows

What is a potential workaround for using EFS with Windows systems?

• Installing a special Windows driver

• Using a Linux proxy to connect

• Converting EFS to NTFS

• Using a cloud-based file manager
