texte = Just a quick thank you to those who responded privately. I am sorry if Ididn't get back to everyone directly. Been a bit of a madhouse for me.I am eager to second the concept of using the Amazon Cloudfront to off-loadbandwidth. I implemented that as a solution across a few of my biggest DNAsites as well as across 4 Vbulletin forums. I am not sure of the combinedtraffic but it was somewhere in the area of 65 million page views a year.Since implementing at AWS we have transferred roughly:So far:25.692 Gigs transferred5,325,736 Requests for files.Not bad for 8 days ;-)So far its been a dream (mostly). Little bit clunky when the client replacesimages and doesnt want to wait the 12hrs for the normal cycle. But there isa tool for that.With the DNA, I chose to make a site-wide function to switch between thehome domain and the AWS domain. So I can come off the cloud across theentire site with one quick mod. I did that in case I ran into a snag alongthe way and had to punt.Oh yeah the cost for all that traffic... A little over $7 so far :-)Yep... No hidden fees and no setup fees.But beyond the value in price or the reduction in bandwidth, we have seentremendous increases in performance of the sites. I am serving all images(no matter how small), all video files and all javascripts through thecloud. So on top of the saving in bandwidth (which is exceptional) I havereduced my simultaneous connections down to 1/4-1/6th of normal. This inturn is making everything much much snappier.Anyway... Just wanted to throw an update with what is working. If thatchanges I will be sure to post it.God I wish I heard about this sooner :-)AlexOn 7/19/11 8:53 PM, "Alex McCombie"
