Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) offers four storage classes: two Standard storage classes, Amazon EFS Standard and Amazon EFS Standard-Infrequent Access (EFS Standard-IA), and two One Zone storage classes, Amazon EFS One Zone, and Amazon EFS One Zone-Infrequent Access (EFS One Zone-IA). The EFS Standard and EFS One Zone storage classes are performance-optimized to deliver lower latency.

This will reduce the cost of your storage by up to 92 percent compared to EFS Standard and EFS One Zone storage classes respectively.

With EFS Intelligent-Tiering, lifecycle management monitors the access patterns of your file system and moves files that have not been accessed for the duration of the lifecycle policy from EFS Standard or EFS One Zone to EFS Standard-IA or EFS One Zone-IA, depending on whether your file system uses EFS Standard or EFS One Zone storage classes.

Additionally, choose a Transition out of IA option and select On first access to move files back to EFS Standard or EFS One Zone storage classes on access.
