This new throughput mode enables you to further simplify running workloads and applications on AWS by providing shared file storage that doesn’t need provisioning or capacity management.

When you enable Elastic Throughput on an Amazon EFS file system, you no longer need to think about actively managing your file system performance or over-paying for idle resources in order to ensure performance for your applications. When you enable Elastic Throughput, you don’t specify or provision throughput capacity, Amazon EFS automatically delivers the throughput performance your application needs while you the builder pays only for the amount of data read or written.

With Elastic Throughput, Amazon EFS now extends its simplicity and elasticity to performance, enabling you to run an even broader range of file workloads on Amazon EFS.

You can also enable Elastic Throughput for new and existing General Purpose file systems using the Amazon EFS console or programmatically using the Amazon EFS CLI, Amazon EFS API, or https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/.
