AWS efs documentation change

Service: efs · 2025-05-16 · Documentation low

File: efs/latest/ug/encryption-in-transit.md

Summary

Minor terminology changes replacing 'Amazon EFS' with 'EFS' for consistency, no technical content changes

Security assessment

Changes are purely stylistic/terminological (using 'EFS' instead of 'Amazon EFS'). No security implications or modifications to encryption implementation details. TLS configuration guidance remains unchanged.

-When you use the mount helper for encryption of data in transit, it also creates a process called `amazon-efs-mount-watchdog`. This process ensures that each mount's stunnel process is running, and stops the stunnel when the Amazon EFS file system is unmounted.
