Nachdem ich schon so viel von Amazons S3 Service gelesen habe in letzter Zeit (heute u.a. hier), wollte ich mir jetzt auch mal test weise einen Account erstellen. Im Moment fallen bei mir zwar nicht wirklich viele Daten an, die ich irgendwo auslagern müsste, aber man weiß ja nie was kommt. Besser, man kennt eine Alternative zum fest gebuchten Webspace…
Leider hat Amazon mir einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht. Anmeldung läuft nur über Kreditkarte. Die ist bei mir leider nicht vorhanden. Also aus der Traum vom Hosting ohne Fixkosten…
Wer übrigens nicht weiß, was S3 ist:
Amazon S3 is intentionally built with a minimal feature set.
- Write, read, and delete objects containing from 1 byte to 5 gigabytes of data each. The number of objects you can store is unlimited.
- Each object is stored and retrieved via a unique, developer-assigned key.
- Authentication mechanisms are provided to ensure that data is kept secure from unauthorized access. Objects can be made private or public, and rights can be granted to specific users.
- Uses standards-based REST and SOAP interfaces designed to work with any Internet-development toolkit.
- Built to be flexible so that protocol or functional layers can easily be added. Default download protocol is HTTP. A BitTorrent(TM) protocol interface is provided to lower costs for high-scale distribution. Additional interfaces will be added in the future.
