Baseline throughput

As explained in Amazon Web Services in Action, Third Edition: An in-depth guide to AWS

Baseline throughput is the sustained data-transfer rate an EFS filesystem receives without consuming burst credits.

Baseline throughput is the sustained data-transfer rate an EFS filesystem can provide without consuming burst credits. In Bursting Throughput mode, it is 50 MiBps per TiB of storage, with a 1 MiBps minimum. section 9.5.2

Storage size controls the baseline: a filesystem of 1 TiB provides 50 MiBps, while 30 TiB provides 1500 MiBps. Filesystems can temporarily exceed this rate through bursting. section 9.5.2

How Amazon Web Services in Action, Third Edition: An in-depth guide to AWS covers it

How deep it goes
Quantifies the storage-based formula and limits, but stops short of detailing complete credit accounting.
Examples
Compares 20 GiB, 1 TiB, 30 TiB, and 60 TiB filesystems using baseline and bursting rates.
What you can do after
Evaluate EFS capacity and relate storage size to sustained and burst throughput.
How it connects
Connects EFS with throughput modes, bursting throughput, burst credits, and provisioned throughput.
