EFS provides simple, scalable & fully managed NFS (Network File System) for use with cloud services & on-prem resources. EFS offers 2 storage classes – Standard & Infrequent access. EFS can grow to petabytes scale, drive high level throughputs and massive parallel access from EC2 instances. EFS provides access semantics like strong data consistency & file locking. From security perspective EFS provides authentication, authorization & encryption (in transit & at rest).
To access EFS system within VPC you create mount targets which provides an IP address for NFS4 endpoint at which you can mount EFS.
amazon-efs-utils is an open source tool which makes it easier to perform encryption of data in transit.
