Managing, Monitoring, and
Optimizing your Amazon Elastic
File System (Amazon EFS)
Solutions manual expert
curated questions and answers
Course objectives
This course combines interactive lessons, hands-on demonstrations, and
knowledge checks to teach students how to manage Amazon EFS effectively.
Below’s a structured breakdown aligned with the course objectives:
1. Interactive Lesson: Manage Amazon EFS File System Throughput
Objective: Understand throughput modes (Bursting vs. Provisioned) and
select the right mode for workloads.
Interactive Activity:
Scenario-Based Decision: Provide students with workload examples
(e.g., a batch processing job vs. a steady-state database).
o Task: Choose between Bursting (baseline + burst)
or Provisioned (fixed throughput) modes.
o Discussion: Justify choices based on IOPS requirements and cost
implications.
Demonstration:
AWS Console Walkthrough:
1. Navigate to EFS > File Systems > Create.
2. Show how to select Throughput Mode during setup.
, 3. Modify an existing file system’s throughput mode.
Knowledge Check:
Question:
Your analytics team runs nightly reports causing spikes in IOPS. Which
throughput mode minimizes costs while handling bursts?
Answer: Bursting Throughput (uses burst credits for temporary
spikes).
2. Interactive Lesson: Monitor Amazon EFS Health & Performance
Objective: Use CloudWatch metrics to track health, performance, and burst
credits.
Interactive Activity:
CloudWatch Dashboard Lab:
1. Students create a dashboard tracking:
PercentIOLimit (health).
BurstCreditBalance (performance).
TotalIOBytes (throughput).
2. Set alarms for BurstCreditBalance < 1M to warn of credit
depletion.
Demonstration:
Simulate Workloads:
o Use a script to generate high IOPS and show real-time metric
changes in CloudWatch.
Knowledge Check:
Question:
Which metric indicates your file system is nearing its maximum IOPS
capacity?
Answer: PercentIOLimit (values approaching 100% signal throttling).
3. Interactive Lesson: Protect Data with AWS Backup
