I building an AutoScaling WordPress Enviroment but have a question on EFS while setting up a CF Template. Am I suppose to mount the EFS on top of the existing WP Directory i.e /var/www/html or copy the WordPress Files to the EFS and then mount it to /var/www/html?
So WordPress backed by EFS.
Firstly you will create the EFS, then mounting is done. After that one cron job will be written to copy all the Wordpress files from var/www/html to mounted directory.

Copying files to Mount Directory
files:
"/tmp/wpcopysymlink.sh":
mode: "000755"
content : |
#!/bin/bash
## ebextensions check if Symlink and wp is already installed if not copy it to EFS
echo "Time: $(date). Checking to see Wordpress is already in EFS or not..."
if [ ! -d /wpfiles/wp-admin ]; then
echo "Wordpress isn't installed I'm going to copy the base install to the EFS Shared directory /wpfiles ..."
cp -r /var/app/current/* /wpfiles
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo 'ERROR: Directory Copy failed!'
exit 1
fi
else
echo "Wordpress is already there /wpfiles/wp-admin already exists!"
fi
echo 'Checking to see if the symlink is there from the app dir to EFS or not...'
if [ -L /var/app/current ] ; then
echo "Good link so your good to go"
else
echo "No link so I'm removing the directory and creating the symlink in it's place to EFS"
rm -rf /var/app/current
ln -s /wpfiles /var/app/current
fi
echo "Time: $(date). All done for EFS"
Now you can write a cron job which will run after every 5min to copy all the files to mount directory.
