File System (EFS)

AWS EFS (Elastic File System) is a scalable file storage service provided by Amazon Web Services. It allows multiple EC2 instances to access a shared file system, ensuring data consistency and centralized storage.

In Brender Studio, EFS is used to store .blend files and related files in a centralized manner.

This setup is crucial when more than one EC2 instance is running, as EFS allows for a single point of access among the instances. Files are created and deleted automatically once the rendering process is completed.

Occasionally, if jobs fail, some files may remain undeleted. Users have the option to clear all content in the EFS if needed.

Since EFS cannot be accessed directly and must be mounted on an EC2 instance, there is a dedicated AWS Batch job designed specifically to delete the contents.

To empty the EFS, navigate to the File System section and click the "Empty EFS" button.
