   Congratulations! You just have created your first Elastic File System on AWS in Ireland region. It was pretty easy and straightforward. This EFS File System will be used to share data between the ActiveMQ brokers.

   Our AWS console now displays the new file system with a link to a page describing the mount instructions for EC2.

   

7. Click on the link Amazon EC2 mount instructions to display the following information:
   Information noteTip: We suggest you to copy/paste the instructions in your favorite text editor as you will need it when setting up the EC2 instance

   

   These instructions and the command inside will help to configure your EC2 instances with ActiveMQ to access this shared file system.

   Information noteNote: But before you do this configuration, you need to setup your EC2 instances and install ActiveMQ.
