Amazon Elastic File System EFS Intelligent Tiering Icon

Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) Intelligent-Tiering is a storage class that automatically moves data between frequently accessed and less frequently accessed tiers, optimizing storage costs. It's ideal for applications with variable data access patterns, such as media workflows, backups, and big data analytics, where some data is accessed regularly while other data remains largely inactive. By automatically moving less frequently accessed data to a lower cost tier, Intelligent-Tiering helps reduce overall storage costs without requiring manual intervention.
