Between 11.4 and 11.8 the exception was the
[Elasticsearch indexer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-elasticsearch-indexer).
But since 11.8 the indexer uses Gitaly for data access as well. NFS can still
be leveraged for redudancy on block level of the Git data. But only has to
be mounted on the Gitaly server.
+Starting with GitLab 11.8, it is possible to use ElasticSearch in conjunction with

+scenario, the [new repository indexer](../../integration/elasticsearch.md#elasticsearch-repository-indexer-beta)

NOTE: **Note:** While Gitaly can be used as a replacement for NFS, it's not recommended
to use EFS as it may impact GitLab's performance. Review the [relevant documentation](../high_availability/nfs.md#avoid-using-awss-elastic-file-system-efs)
for more details.
