AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers available with both Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS). With Fargate, developers are able to focus on building applications, eliminating the need to manage the infrastructure related undifferentiated heavy lifting.

EFS provides a simple, scalable, and fully managed shared file system for use with AWS cloud services, and can also help Kubernetes applications be highly available because all data written to EFS is written to multiple AWS Availability Zones.

With this new update, for Fargate this step is not required and you do not need to install the EFS CSI driver, as it is installed in the Fargate stack and support for EFS is provided out of the box.

These are two manifest examples that do that: Today, this feature update is available for newly created EKS clusters with Kubernetes version 1.17, and we are planning to roll out support for this feature with additional Kubernetes versions on EKS in the coming weeks.
