- Point 1: Launch an instance with the NFS port enabled To mount Amazon EFS on an EC2 instance, ensure that the instance's security group allows inbound traffic on port 2049, the NFS port. This enables the necessary communication between the EC2 instance and the EFS service.
Point 2: Create EFS with the required security group attached
When creating an EFS file system, configure it to use the desired security group. This ensures that the EFS file system is associated with the appropriate security settings, including access to the NFS port.
Point 3: Mount the EFS volume to the EC2 instance
Connect to the EC2 instance, install the NFS client software if needed, create a directory for mounting, and use the mount command with the EFS file system details to mount it on the instance. Verify the mount and optionally configure automatic mount on startup.
In just a few simple steps, you can successfully mount an Amazon EFS volume to your EC2 instance, enabling seamless and scalable file storage and sharing capabilities.
