Amazon EFSAWS

Serverless elastic NFSv4 file system for Linux workloads with automatic scaling, Standard and One Zone storage classes, and lifecycle management to Infrequent Access

Amazon FSxAWS

Fully managed shared file systems with four flavours — FSx for Windows File Server (SMB + Active Directory), FSx for Lustre (HPC and ML), FSx for NetApp ONTAP (NAS and SAN protocols), and FSx for OpenZFS (native POSIX) — each with multi-AZ, encryption, and native integrations across EC2, EKS, and on-prem
