AWS Fargate vs. Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) vs. Google Cloud Filestore vs. IBM Cloud File Storage Comparison Chart

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) automatically grows and shrinks as you add and remove files with no need for management or provisioning. Share code and other files in a secure, organized way to increase DevOps agility and respond faster to customer feedback. Persist and share data from your AWS containers and serverless applications with zero management required. Easier to use and scale, Amazon EFS offers the performance and consistency needed for machine learning and big data analytics workloads. Simplify persistent storage for modern content management system workloads. Get your products and services to market faster, more reliably, and securely at a lower cost. Create and configure shared file systems simply and quickly for AWS compute services, with no provisioning, deploying, patching, or maintenance required. Scale workloads on-demand to petabytes of storage and gigabytes per second of throughput out of the box.

Deploy and customize flash-backed NFS-based file storage from 25 - 12,000 GB capacity with up to 48,000 IOPS. Increase storage capacity or modify your performance to quickly adjust to changes in workload demands. Choose predefined Endurance tiers with per-GB pricing — ideal for most workloads. Or, fine-tune your environment with allocated IOPS — ideal for workloads with well-defined performance requirements. Stay confident with storage designed to protect against data loss during maintenance or failures with data at rest encryption, volume duplication, and snapshots and replication. Lock in your costs without the surprise of hidden fees or additional charges. Ensure lower costs with terabyte increments. For greater flexibility choose between hourly or monthly billing for long-term or short-term storage needs. Provision file storage alongside your cloud servers in IBM Cloud® data centers around the world.
