Hi there @vitorfranca - thanks for using the solution! I would recommend using AWS Transfer Family - there is a discussion of getting this working in the issue here: https://github.com/rileydakota/valheim-ecs-fargate-cdk/issues/1#issuecomment-781695616

AWS Transfer Family would essentially give you a way to connect to the EFS Volume where the mapfile is stored via SFTP and not need to launch an EC2 Instance. Just don't forget to delete the Transfer Family Server, as it is a bit expensive (0.30/hr) but not a huge deal provided you shut it off.

Hey @rileydakota, thanks for the super quick answer!

I was able to do it. I think the easiest way is to create an EC2 instance and mount the server's EFS and scp from my computer to the instance.

and that did it!

Howdy @vitorfranca ! Any chance you could do a quick writeup of how you did this?
