Configure At Rest Encryption for EFS Exam Lab
AWS Elastic File System (EFS) provides incredible scalability for your storage requirements, making it easy to share data across hundreds or even thousands of EC2 instances. In this lab, students will create an Amazon Elastic File System in the US-East-1 Region with encryption enabled. Students will also configure mount targets for this file system, enforce encryption in-flight, and finally mount the file system to a pre-created EC2 instance.
