What is the primary purpose of Amazon Elastic File System (EFS)?

  1. Block storage

  2. Object storage

  3. File storage

  4. Database storage

The correct answer is: File storage

Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) is a file storage service that allows users to store and access large amounts of data in the cloud. It is designed to be highly available, scalable, and durable. EFS is not used for block storage, which is typically used to store data at the block level in a structured manner. It also does not function as object storage, which is used to store and retrieve unstructured data. Finally, EFS is not meant for database storage, which requires a specialized database management system for data storage and retrieval. Therefore, the primary purpose of Amazon EFS is file storage.
