The article announces that Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) has increased its maximum filesystem read throughput to 60 GiB/s, doubling the previous limit.
Specifically, the article covers:

- In August 2024, the maximum read throughput limit was increased to 30 GiB/s to support AI and machine learning workloads.
- Now, the read throughput limit has been further increased to 60 GiB/s to support throughput-intensive workloads like model training, inference, financial analytics, and genomic data analysis.
- The increased limits are available for all EFS file systems using the Elastic Throughput mode in select AWS regions, while other regions now support up to 10 GiB/s read throughput.
