Create shared storage for AWS PCS in Amazon Elastic File System
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) is an AWS service that provides serverless, fully elastic file storage so that you can share file data without provisioning or managing storage capacity and performance. For more information, see What is Amazon Elastic File System? in the Amazon Elastic File System User Guide.
The AWS PCS demonstration cluster uses an EFS file system to provide a shared home directory between the cluster nodes. Create an EFS file system in the same VPC as your cluster.
To create your Amazon EFS file system
-
Go to the Amazon EFS console

Make sure it's set to the same AWS Region where you will try AWS PCS.

Make a note of the File system ID for the
