Comments on What is EFS (Elastic File System) in AWS and how to use it
Amazon Elastic File System(EFS) provides an NFS file system for use with AWS Cloud services and on-premises resources which is simple, scalable, fully managed. We can mount this file system either on AWS Cloud or our on-premises servers. In this article, we will focus on creating a simple EFS filesystem and mount it on an Ubuntu EC2 instance.

Are communications secured somehow, or are the NFS calls going out like plaintext over the net? Normally I'd think you'd want to access NFS over a VPN somehow so it's not intercepted?

efs supports TLS encryption, see the last chapter of the article for tls mount option. You can find the detailed explanation here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/encryption-in-transit.html
