I read a lot about the possibilities of Amazons Cloud computing, like S3 or EC2 and I wondered if someone actually uses this for mission-critical applications. Do you host your company website in the cloud? Do you store files there? Do you run your build servers in the cloud? There are already some services like Scalr or WeoCeo that cou...
I've been interacting with Amazon S3 through S3Fox and I can't seem to delete my buckets. I select a bucket, hit delete, confirm the delete in a popup, and... nothing happens. Is there another tool that I should use? ...
Is there a way to make S3 default to an index.html page? E.g.: My bucket object listing: /index.html /favicon.ico /images/logo.gif A call to www.mysite.com/index.html works great! But if one were to call www.mysite.com/ we'd either get a 403 or a REST object listing XML document depending on how bucket-level ACL was configured. So,...
Hi We just added an autoupdater in our software and got some bug report saying that the autoupdate wouldn't complete properly because the downloaded file's sha1 checksum wasn't matching. We're hosted on Amazon S3... That's either something wrong with my code or something wrong with S3. I reread my code for suspicious stuff and wrote a...
Has anyone considered using something along the lines of the Amazon SimpleDB data store as their backend database? SQL Server hosting (at least in the UK) is expensive so could something like this along with cloud file storage (S3) be used for building apps that could grow with your application. Great in theory but would anyone conside...
My company runs a site where we allow users to upload files. I'm worried about scaling as the traffic and client volume increases. I don't believe that we'll have an all-at-once traffic hit, but it will gradually increase over time. But over time it may get rather large, and not something I want to manage. If anyone has experience wi...
Anyone got a working example of using ruby to post to a presigned URL on s3 ...
I seem to recall reading about an Amazon S3-compatible test server that you could run on your own server for unit tests or whatever. However, I've just exhausted my patience looking for this with both Google and AWS. Does such a thing exist? If not, I think I'll write one. Note: I'm asking about Amazon S3 (the storage system) rather tha...
1 am thinking of hosting a python based app on Amazon EC2. It will be really helpful to know the cost of an EC2 and S3 combo. Does typical ($7/month) shared hosting compare to the bandwidth cost + EC2 1 instance + S3 storage? (will the cost difference be minimal?) I understand that all this varies, Can you share your cost/month and your ...
We're looking into developing a product that would use Amazon's cloud tools (EC2, SQS, etc), and I'm curious what tips/gotchas/pointers people that have used these technologies have. One tip/whatever per post, please. ...
Due to the lack of clientaccesspolicy.xml, there appears to be problems with using Amazon S3 via Flex. Are there any work arounds? Edit: Both of the below answers are great and work, I've upvoted both (I'm not going to assign an answer to the question as they both work): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/186768/can-you-use-amazon-s3-v...
I'm working to set up Panda on an Amazon EC2 instance. I set up my account and tools last night and had no problem using SSH to interact with my own personal instance, but right now I'm not being allowed permission into Panda's EC2 instance. Getting Started with Panda I'm getting the following error: @ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIV...
I'm a huge fan of robocopy and use it extensively to copy between various servers I need to update. Lately I've been archiving to an Amazon S3 account that I access via a mapped drive using JungleDisk. I then robocopy my files from local PC to S3. Sometimes I get a very strange 'Incorrect function' error message in robocopy and the fi...
I want to have a web based admin to upload, delete files and folders in Amazon S3 on ASP.NET website. I am pretty sure something like this already exist, has anyone seen it? ...
I've uploaded a bunch of images to Amazon S3, and now want to add a Cache-Control header to them. Can the header be updated without downloading the entire image? If so, how? ...
I've got a project which requires a fairly complicated process and I want to make sure I know the best way to do this. I'm using ASP.net C# with Adobe Flex 3. The app server is Mosso (cloud server) and the file storage server is Amazon S3. The existing site can be viewed at NoiseTrade.com I need to do this: Allow users to upload MP3 f...
Hello all, We are building an application which stores data in an S3 bucket. However, we are having problems with the PutObject method. Here is the xml packet we are sending out: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xml...
Would it be useful to have a module for IIS7 that automatically caches images and other static content to S3 and replaces references to them in web pages? What would be the pros and cons, and things to watch out for in making this? ...
We have a bunch of data on S3 (images) but just started reading about Mosso Files (rackspace). Sometime this month they are going to add CDN capabilities so any file you upload is part of the limelight CDN. Anyone using this service, it's not as well documented or publicized at S3. ...
I've got about 200k images in a bucket. They all have expires headers of 2050 but I've read you shouldn't send an expires header older than a year. I want to schedule a script to run every month and set the headers to 6 months away. Anything out there? Obviously I'd like to avoid iterating 200k objects. ...
