When to use EFS over FSx?

Question

I have read through the documentation for the usecases of EFS and FSx but still i'm confused as to when to use one over the other.

Can anyone explain?

The primary difference is that EFS supports Linux and FSX supports Windows — Paolo, Nov 01 '22 at 14:23

EFS is cheaper than FSx.

Some AWS services only support using EFS (AWS Lambda, Linux ECS containers).

Some AWS services only support using FSx (Windows ECS containers).
