Fundamentals of AWS

Learn about the core AWS's services like compute, storage, networking services and how they work with other services like Identity, Mobile, Routing, and Security. This module provides you with a good grasp an all you need to know of AWS services.
This module has been designed by three AWS Solution Certified Architects who have a combined industry experience of 17 years. We aim to provide you with just the right depth of knowledge you need to have.

Learn the A to Z of Amazon Web Services (AWS)

## What is Elastic File System (EFS)?
It is a file storage service for elastic compute cloud (EC2) instances. The EFS strong capacity is elastic, growing and shrinking automatically.  EFS supports NFSv4 and you only pay what you use. 

This enables a shared, networked file system, which is **replicated** between multiple availability zones.  This makes EFS a good candidate for running MQ in a highly available way. 


### Use EFS for queuing system
The below architecture diagram would give you an understanding of how EFS can be used for a queuing system.
