Intermediate 26 minutes 6 Learning Objectives
  1. Explain why EBS cannot serve a fleet that shares files, and what shared storage provides instead
  2. Compare EFS performance modes and throughput modes, and choose the right one from a workload description
  3. Calculate the baseline and burst throughput of an EFS file system using Bursting throughput
  4. Configure EFS lifecycle policies to move cold data into IA and Archive storage
  5. Match each FSx file system and Mountpoint for Amazon S3 to the protocol and workload it serves
  6. Diagnose an FSx for Windows File Server performance ceiling using throughput capacity and storage configuration
