For smaller volumes, users may experience decent performance for a period of time due to 'Burst Credits'. Over a period of weeks to months credits may run out and performance will bottom out. +- To keep "Burst Credits" available, it may be necessary to provision more space + with 'dummy data'. However, this may get expensive. +- Another option to maintain "Burst Credits" is to use FS Cache on the server so + that AWS doesn't always have to go into EFS to access files. - For larger volumes, allocated IOPS may not be the problem. Workloads where many small files are written in a serialized manner are not well-suited for EFS. EBS with an NFS server on top will perform much better.
