I'm looking into moving over to Amazon S3 for hosting static content on a site that is currently hosted internally. We see wildly varying amounts of bandwidth from day to day, so S3 seems to be a natural solution to cut bandwidth costs. I will need to be able to access the files over HTTPS AND keep some semblance of the current Live Stats reporting we use.
Google is a little slim on some aspects of those two items. I thought I'd hit the list here and see if anyone had any advice. This is the only links I turned up on HTTPS: http://clouddevelopertips.blogspot.com/2009/08/amazon-s3-gotcha-using-virtual-host.html It seems to think you can't use HTTPS with a CNAME pointer which would be a downer, but not a deal breaker. (I've got tons of legacy code and E-mails that I would like to keep pointing at the old URL while it seamlessly repoints to an S3 bucket) On the Live Stats reports, I've found that logging can be enabled for a bucket... http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/index.html?LoggingHowTo.html ...but I can't seem to find any useful info on if those logs are anything like IIS logs and can be consumed by reporting tools like Live Stats. (And apparently Live Stats was bought by MS and dropped like 3 years ago, so I guess this would be a good time to find a new analytics app too :) On a related note, I was quite excited to see that ColdBox just came out with an S3 explorer app! Now if only Adobe CF had baked-in S3 support like Railo :) ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
