efs Cookbook

Cookbook to mount Elastic Filesystem endpoints in Amazon Web Services.

You just configure global defaults (presently the recommended values from Amazon) and individual mounts through node attributes. You also have the option of using the mount_efs resource within your own recipes.

Requirements

• NFS

Platforms

• Ubuntu 16.04
• Centos 7.2
• RHEL 7.2
• Debian (untested)

Usage

efs::default

Configure any desired mounts under node['efs']['mounts'] and include efs in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[efs]"
  ]
}

mount_efs

This cookbook is implemented with a custom resource so you can use mount_efs in your cookbook recipes as well with the same available attributes as the node['efs']['mounts'] structure.
