After posting and experimenting with #36, I'm now feeling that EFS is perhaps a little bit clunky for the goals I have in mind. Specifically, we have desires to use these volumes to share data among pods. However, the data are almost always sourced from S3, which means that we have to do copy operations, which incur traffic charges. Then, when we're not using the shared data, they just sit in an idle EFS volume. EFS is also not optimized for using many small files.
FSx for Luster is a more modern, higher-performing file storage service, and it can be set up to automatically mirror content from S3. It is not as flexible, though, and it may cost more, since we will pay for the entire file system allocation as long as the device is in use. (This adds up quickly; for the smallest FSx file system, we can expect at least $90/mo, and possibly twice that amount if we're not careful!)
The ideal solution would be to provision an FSx file system on demand with S3 data repository associations. This may not be entirely possible, and this PR represents a testing ground for such exploration.
