Amazon EFS now supports up to 10,000 access points per EFS file system

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) has now increased the access points limit from 1,000 to 10,000 per file system, a 10x increase. This launch makes it even easier for customers to manage application-specific access to shared datasets, enabling them to seamlessly scale access management to thousands of users, on a single EFS file system.

Amazon EFS is a fully elastic file storage service that makes it simple to set up and run file workloads in the AWS cloud. Access points are application-specific entry points that enforce a user identity and root directory, and logically isolate data between applications. The new EFS access point limits automatically apply to all file systems and require no action from customers.

The new access point limits are immediately available in all commercial AWS regions, except in AWS China Regions. To learn more, see the Amazon EFS Documentation or create a file system using the Amazon EFS Console, API, or AWS CLI.
