When to use EFS over FSx?

I have read through the documentation for the usecases of EFS and FSx but still i'm confused as to when to use one over the other.

Can anyone explain?

Solution

  • EFS is cheaper than FSx.

    Some AWS services only support using EFS (AWS Lambda, Linux ECS containers).

    Some AWS services only support using FSx (Windows ECS containers).
