🚀 Day-14:Successfully Completed an AWS EFS Project! 🌐

Step-by-Steps:

I recently completed a project utilizing Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) to achieve scalable and secure shared storage between multiple EC2 instances. Here's a summary of the project and why EFS was the perfect solution:

Project Overview:

1. 🔒 Configured Security Group: Created a Security Group to allow SSH and NFS traffic, ensuring secure and seamless communication.

2. 🖥️ Launched EC2 Instances: Deployed two EC2 instances using Amazon Linux OS for a reliable environment.

3. 📡 Connected Instances: Accessed both instances via SSH for further configuration.

4. 📁 Created & Mounted EFS: Set up an EFS file system, connected, and mounted it to both instances to enable centralized file sharing.

5. ✅ Verified Setup: Used df -h on both instances to ensure they were successfully connected to the shared EFS storage.

Why Use EFS? 🤔

Amazon EFS is ideal for scenarios where multiple instances need simultaneous access to the same data. It’s perfect for web applications, content management systems, big data analytics, and more—offering a fully managed, scalable, and highly available solution.

Advantages of EFS 🌟:

• 📈 Scalability: Automatically grows and shrinks as files are added or removed, with no capacity management.

• 🔄 High Availability: Data is stored across multiple availability zones, ensuring durability and reliability.

• 🔒 Secure Access: Integrated with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) for secure permissions.

• 💼 Cost-Efficient: Pay only for the storage you use, without the need to provision capacity in advance.

This project was a great way to deepen my knowledge in AWS EC2, EFS, and secure infrastructure management. Looking forward to exploring more cloud-based solutions!
