# Amazon EFS

Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) allows you to create a configure shared file system simply and quickly for AWS compute services. It automatically grows and shrinks as you add and remove files so you do not have to manage or provision space. You can mount your Amazon EFS system on an on-premise Linux box so that you can index the files you have stored there using the File System Connector. To mount your Amazon EFS system on an on-premise Linux box, you must use an AWS Client VPN Endpoint, OpenVPN, and NFS.

Use the following steps to mount your Amazon EFS on an on-premise Linux box:

- Setting Up the Client VPN

- Connecting to the Client VPN EndPoint

- Mounting the Amazon EFS

If you need to remove the Amazon EFS mount, see Unmounting the Amazon EFS
