Prerequisites

1. Create

2. Monitor

3. Performance

4. Accessible

5. Scale-out

This workshop designed to help you better understand the performance characteristics of Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) and how parallelism, I/O size, and Amazon EC2 instance types affects file system IOPS and throughput. You will also gain an understanding of the different performance and throughput modes a file system can be using.

This section is an AWS Cloudformation template that will create two Amazon VPCs with Internet gateways, security groups, and routing tables to create isolate networks for this workshop. It is highly recommended to setup these prerequisites. If you decide to use your own VPCs, make sure they don't have overlapping CIDR blocks, allow traffic within the default security group, and allow SSH access from your laptop.

Click on the link below to go to the Pre-requisites section. Once you've finished that section, move on to Create.

This section is a guide to create two Amazon EFS file systems using default performance and throughput modes.

This section is a guide to setup an AWS CloudWatch dashboard with widgets to help monitor how your workload is driving an Amazon EFS file system. Once you've finished that workshop, move on to Performance.

Click on the link below to go to the Monitor section.

This section is a set of scripts that will demonstrate:

• different instance types provide different levels of network performance when accessing a file system
• different I/O sizes (block sizes) and sync() freqencies (the rate data is persisted to disk) effects file system throughput
• increasing the number of threads accessing a file system will increase IOPS and throughput

Click on the link below to go to the Performance workshop. Once you've finished that workshop move on to Accessible.

This section is a set of steps to test accessibility over a VPC-peering connection and from Amazon Workspaces.
