- axylone 16y agook, I think we managed to switch http://www.kathack.com http://www.kathack.com over to S3. Thanks for the tip!
- risotto 16y agoNo problem. Love the script.
- dustingetz 16y agofrom my understanding, S3 optimizes throughput but not latency. I'm not surprised that his performance serving from S3 is perfectly fine, but I think the "answer" is to skip straight to CloudFront. CloudFront can mirror directly from your appserver, or from S3, it doesn't matter. update: did a little googling, and found only anecdotal evidence that latency to S3 is fine but not awesome: http://www.cloudclimate.com/s3/ http://www.cloudclimate.com/s3/ http://www.codeswimming.com/blog/2010/04/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront-response-time/ http://www.codeswimming.com/blog/2010/04/amazon-s3-and-cloud... http://www.slideshare.net/ehwinter/using-amazon-cloud-front-for-improved-response-time http://www.slideshare.net/ehwinter/using-amazon-cloud-front-...
