Ya, "avoid" is a strong word. I use S3 for tons of static web hosting, because it is exceptionally cheap and I don't have to worry about patching CentOS/Apache/MySQL/PHP and all the other binaries/daemons that I used to. I know how to, I just would rather not when S3 is a couple pence per GB.
- nerdjon 7y agoThat part stuck out to me as well, especially since the lack of https was their only reason. You can stick Cloudfront in front of it and get HTTPS very easily (with the added benefit of being on edge servers). Personally I have found S3+Cloudfront to be perfect for static content for that reason.
