Using more than 1000 AWS EFS PVCs in OpenShift Container Platform

Issue

• When using the AWS EFS CSI driver, the documentation states that due to AWS AccessPoint limits, you can only dynamically provision 1000 PVs from a single StorageClass/EFS volume. How can more than 1000 PVs be created?

• When provisioning more than 1000 PVs using the AWS EFS CSI driver, the following error message is shown:

  Warning  ProvisioningFailed    4s                efs.csi.aws.com_ip-10-0-136-2_2314ab07-7d77-46a1-ab5a-b06dacbfca47  failed to provision volume with StorageClass "efs-sc": rpc error: code = Internal desc = Failed to create Access point in File System fs-0fa38ca61cd8f6c70 : Failed to create access point: AccessPointLimitExceeded: You have reached the maximum number of access points (1000) for your file system fs-0fa38ca61cd8f6c70. Delete an access point and add a new one.
