About

The Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) is a scalable storage solution for Linux-based workloads on AWS Cloud services and on-premise resources.  Metricly now supports some out-of-the-box default policies and metrics for EFS.

What you’ll need to get started:

Packaged Policies

  • Depleted Burst Credit Balance: There are no burst credits left. The number of burst credits that a file system has is zero.
  • IO Percentage Critical: File system has almost reached its limit of the General Purpose performance mode. If this metric is at 100%, consider moving your application to a file system using the Max I/O performance mode.
