Introduction:
Amazon Elastic File System is a cloud storage service provided by Amazon Web Services that is designed to provide scalable, elastic, concurrent with some restrictions and encrypted file storage for use with both AWS cloud services and on-premises resources. This tutorial will cover the configuration of EFS to mount on EC2 instance.
Configuration Steps:

Now check the availability zone in security group
Now to take control your EC2 instances using ssh from command prompt using the following command
Install the amazon utils there using the following the command
Now create a directory here name as efs
Now using this command, we mount our file system in the efs directory
Using the following command, I can see that efs mount has been completed
Now create a file there and provide some content in that file
Take ssh for another instance with the same method install the amazon utils there and create efs directory, and mount the efs with same command as before
Now move into that efs directory
So, when you list the file inside that directory you will find the file which i have created in another instance but with the help of EFS I can also get that here
With this method configuration of EFS on EC2 instance comes to an end.
