Amazon EFS now supports up to 250,000 IOPS per file system

Amazon EFS now supports up to 250,000 read IOPS and up to 50,000 write IOPS per file system, making it easier to power IOPS-intensive file workloads on AWS. Amazon EFS provides serverless, fully elastic file storage that makes it simple to set up and run file workloads in the cloud. Amazon EFS now supports up to 250,000 read IOPS (4.5x improvement) when you are working with frequently-accessed data and up to 50,000 write IOPS (2x improvement). With these IOPS improvements, you can easily run even more demanding workloads on EFS, such as AI/ML (iterative training, fine- tuning, inferencing), data science user shares, SaaS applications, and media processing. These higher IOPS limits are immediately available for EFS file systems using Elastic Throughput, in all commercial AWS Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
