<p>I am trying to find a solution to make use of the same Amazon EFS for mounting multiple directories in the Kubernetes deployment. Here is my use case</p>
<ul>
<li>I have an application named <strong>app1</strong> that needs to persist a directory named &quot;/opt/templates&quot; to EFS</li>
<li>I have another application named <strong>app2</strong> that needs to persist a directory named &quot;/var/logs&quot; to EFS</li>
</ul>
<p>We deploy the applications as a Kubernetes Pod in the Amazon EKS cluster. If i am using the same EFS for both the above mounts, i can see all the files from both the directories &quot;/opt/templates&quot; and &quot;/var/logs&quot; as i am using the same EFS.</p>
<p>How can i solve the problem of using same EFS for both the application without seeing <strong>app1</strong> mounted files in <strong>app2</strong> directory ? Is it even possible of using the same EFS ID for multiple applications ?</p>
<p>Here is the Kubernetes manifests i used for for one of the application which includes PersistentVolume, PVC and the Deployment</p>

<p>It looks like you can do that <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-efs-csi-driver/blob/master/examples/kubernetes/volume_path/README.md" rel="nofollow noreferrer">by including the path as part of the volume handle</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A sub directory of EFS can be mounted inside container. This gives cluster operator the flexibility to restrict the amount of data being accessed from different containers on EFS.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre><code>volumeHandle: [FileSystemId]:[Path]
</code></pre>
<p>I think you will need to create two separate PVs and PVCs, one for /opt/templates, and the other for /var/logs, each pointing to a different path on your EFS.</p>
