Storage cost optimization with Amazon EFS
summary
Amazon EFS adds automatic cost-driven file moves between performance and infrequent access storage using two lifecycle policies that are default on new file systems and can be set via CLI/API/console. The feature claims saves up to 92% on storage for IA data and EFS One Zone cuts costs ~47% for single-AZ workloads. It provides a cost guardrail that re-promotes files when access spikes and reports no monitoring charges. A Capital One case shows hundreds of terabytes on EFS with analytics and unpredictable access benefiting from these automated transitions.
