1 scenario: if you run a website that has a lot of static content (multiple GB of images, css, js, etc) and you dont want your http server to be responsible for serving that content then you give it all to s3 and let them serve it for you.
- erikbye 10y agoWhat about the performance of serving it? Sounds like I would need to cache it myself, anyway.
- ckozlowski 10y agoPerformance out of S3 is generally really good. However, if you're looking to say, serve up a global website and your content is in a single S3 region, then you can leverage CloudFront CDN to serve up those objects. CloudFront integrates seamlessly with S3, and you don't pay transfer charges between CloudFront and S3.
