Answer

You may have to mount an Amazon EFS file system on an Amazon ECS container or task running on Fargate

Answer

Hi,

Writing to EFS from a Fargate container is quite simple: you just write to the file you want through its name with proper directory path (based on mount point you chose).

Basically, once the mount is executed, you rae back to a normal file system

This post (for Lambda but very similar to Fargate since both are serverless) explains it very well: https://www.cloudtechsimplified.com/elastic-file-system-efs-aws-lambda/

Best,
