Mount EFS in Region Sydney to EC2 instance in Singapore region

I have created an Amazon EFS filesystem in the Sydney Region and would like to mount it on an EC2 instance in the Singapore region.

Is this possible?

This answer is outdated. Please see other answer.

An Amazon EFS filesystem is only accessible in the VPC that was selected when it was created, or via Direct Connect when linked to that VPC.

Each Amazon VPC is only in one Region.

As per the Amazon EFS Limits documentation page:

An Amazon EFS file system can be mounted from on-premises datacenter servers using AWS Direct Connect. However, other VPC private connectivity mechanisms such as a VPN connection and VPC peering are not supported.

Answering as people may not look at the comment.

You can now connect to Amazon EFS file systems from EC2 instances in other AWS regions using an inter-region VPC peering connection, and from on-premises servers using an AWS VPN connection.
