EFS + Lambda + EC2 a simple Intro

On the 18th of June 2020 AWS released EFS for Lambda. This is a pretty great release that provides serverless architectures a way to implement common tasks such as large libraries ( Lambda is limited to 50mb per function zipped deployment package, though you can leverage layers to expand this ), access to files your other servers may have access to e.g. assets from existing applications or the ability to drop assets for consumption of existing services. In this quick walk through we will look at how to create your first Elastic File System, how to mount it in EC2 and how to mount it in Lambda.
