Your presentation is great and clear. I worked for one year on S3, EC2 and I know what I am telling. I think beginner will have some idea about how S3 worked and how easy it can be used.
But you need to know that it cost something as you pay for bandwith

Good article.

Also worth looking at how you can use Google App Engine as a pseudo CDN. It is even cheaper (i.e. free)

Hello and thanks for the post. When I select “read only” and then try to embed into a site, nothing happens. When I go back to ACL I notice that my “read” permissions changed back to “x” mark again. Anything I’m doing wrong?

If you are on Windows try CloudBerry Explorer for Amazon S3. It makes managing files in S3 EASY http://cloudberrylab.com/ It supports most of the Amazon S3 and CloudFront features and It is a FREEWARE

Hello,

If I set read only permission on my files on S3 then how can I read them. I have some files on S3 and have set the read only permission. Now I need a function or command to read them with php script.

Thanks

Thanks! My map site is always going down in the last few days of the month because of my web host’s bandwidth restrictions. Now I don’t have to worry about how many users my site gets.
