EFS Access Point

Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) Access Points are application-specific entry points into an EFS file system. Each access point can enforce a unique POSIX user, group and root directory, allowing multiple workloads or tenants to share the same file system while maintaining separation and least-privilege access. Access points are commonly used to simplify permissions when deploying containers, serverless functions or batch jobs that need shared storage.
