EFS: Add EFS Intelligent Tiering policy

Updated over 2 months ago

Difficulty: Easy

We have identified Elastic File Systems (EFS) in your account that do not currently use the Intelligent-Tiering lifecycle management policy. EFS Intelligent-Tiering automatically moves infrequently accessed files to a lower-cost storage class, helping to reduce costs without impacting performance. We recommend enabling this policy for file systems with infrequent access patterns.

Selection Criteria

  • The EFS does not have the Intelligent-Tiering lifecycle policy enabled.

Over time, we’ve observed that a typical object distribution tends to follow a 10% / 30% / 50% / 20% split per tier.
