I would love to see DO or Linode do a S3 type service as well. I prefer the persistent virtualization of DO and Linode to EC2 but also want to use a nice quick persistent file store that isn't on my own slice.
I could just use S3 from Linode but that would result more paid bandwidth and increased latency.
- thu 13y agoShameless plug: I have started https://reesd.com/ https://reesd.com/. Not the S3 protocol, simply scp.
- royjacobs 13y agoHow would you go ahead mounting this, though? SSHFS?
- thu 13y agoI don't know exactly what I have to implement to support SSHFS. But really in my mind a service like Reesd (or S3) is used through a networked API to read and write files, not through an exposed file system (although sure it can be exposed that way, just that it is not the "philosophy"). E.g. if you implement a music streaming service, you would access mp3 through say a REST API, not on disk, before streaming them.
- t0mas88 13y agoRackspace Cloud has both persistent disks for VMs (on SSDs in RAID 10, so fast and reliable) and an S3 like storage system called Cloud Files. Sounds like that's the combination you want?
- hackerboos 13y agoThey do hourly billing as well which Linode is missing.
