I think it is worth mentioning that Azure offer something similar with Samba / CIFS/ SMB protocol. [1]

This is the underlying tech that powered their Docker volume plugin as well [2]

I'm using in production for serving up small images to some web servers, and I'm currently in playground with docker stuff.

So far, so good. I'm impressed.

edit: footnotes

A notable difference is that Azure file shares have a 5 TB limit for the whole share, and a 1 TB limit on the size of any given file [1], while EFS has no limit on the size of the file system, and a 52 TB limit on the size of any given file. [2]

Disclosure, work for AWS.
