Some of the main benefits of using Amazon EFS are:

1. Access: EFS can be accessed in parallel by multiple AWS services like EC2, EKS, ECS from different zones within the same region or even different regions.
2. Elastic: EFS does not require any storage provisioning and scales based on usage.
3. Cost: EFS uses a pay as you go model so customers only pay for the resources used. There are no minimum fees or upfront commitments.

AWS has a lot of different instance types and it can be difficult to decide which instance type would be the best for a particular use-case. In this article, we will compare two popular instance types: C6g and C5, across various dimensions such as their specs, their performance as well the cost.

What is SQS?

Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a managed, message-queue service that enables us to build scalable and reliable systems. Queues allow services to be decoupled. They can communicate with each other asynchronously and are especially useful when the throughput of the producing service is different from the throughput of the consuming service.
