Amazon EFS now supports up to 60 GiB/s (a 2x increase) of read throughput
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) has increased the maximum filesystem read throughput to 60 GiB/s (a 2x increase).
Amazon EFS provides serverless, fully elastic file storage that makes it simple to set up and run file workloads in the AWS cloud. In August 2024, we increased the maximum Elastic Throughput limits to 30 GiB/s read to support the growing throughput demand for AI and machine learning workloads. Now, we are further increasing the read throughput limit to 60 GiB/s, extending EFS's simple, fully elastic, and provisioning-free experience to support throughput-intensive AI and machine learning workloads for model training, inference, financial analytics, and genomic data analysis.
The increased throughput limits are immediately available for all EFS file systems using the Elastic Throughput mode. EFS file systems in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Dublin), Europe (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Singapore) Regions now support up to 60 GiB/s read throughput. All other AWS Regions now support up to 10 GiB/s read throughput (previously 3 GiB/s). To learn more, see the Amazon EFS Documentation or create a file system using the Amazon EFS Console, API, or AWS CLI.
