Overall Satisfaction with Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
- Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is used by the department of engineering to host several static websites. The apps are written mainly in Angular and Jekyll.
- We host the websites in S3 buckets, distribute them through Cloudfront which provide a CDN and an SSL connection, and then set up the domain that will be used through DNS configuration at Cloudflare.
- Outstanding UI/UX (drag & drop features help a lot)
- Per-file permission system (make a file public or not)
- Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) does not provide SSL. Right now, you always need to use Cloudfront if you want to have SSL.
- The amount of time we've saved deploying our websites and files to Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) has been tremendous. The other option would have been to host them ourselves in a dedicated server.
- We've saved a requisite amount of money by hosting our static websites in an Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) bucket instead of VPS.
