Dealing with user files on AWS and other scalable platforms
I'm upgrading a large Drupal 5 system to run under Drupal 7 on AWS, and am trying to figure out the best practice for setting up the public files that used to be in sites/default/files.
I'm looking at a couple of the modules available for using S3 as the storage back end, and am beginning to think there has to be a better way to do this. That, or those of you who are doing large sites are doing something seriously custom that isn't making its way back into modules like AmazonS3.

Drupal and Amazon S3
Hola. Tenemos una aplicación para iPhone en la App Store de Apple llamada ShotStrip - que utiliza Drupal como el servidor. Es como Instagram pero usted puede tomar una serie de fotos para contar una historia a través de imágenes.
Está en una beta cerrada, pero muchas, muchas, muchas personas que se han registrado para la beta. Por esa razón, nos estamos moviendo a la amazon nube para apoyar growth.
Lo que tenemos que hacer es muy simple en un sistema estándar de PHP, pero parece muy complicado en Drupal.

video-6.x-4.0-beta1 Released
6.x-4.0-BETA1 Has now been released. I am releasing this as beta as there have been major changes and additions and I think its stable enough for a beta. We still need help testing this before its implemented in a production environment. This is a rewrite of the 6.x-3.x branch. The major improvements are listed below:
* FTP Video Attach. (Ability to FTP all your videos at once and then attach the videos through a drop-down)
* FLVTool2 integration.
EC2/S3 for DB-intensive drupal system
Hi everybody,
First of all, I am very new to Drupal and actually not actively coding myself but more involved as a project manager. However, as I've done some programming before and had some computer science modules at university I think I do have a basic grasp on the bigger issues around cloud computing.
We're just finishing a new system which we of course hope will become a huge hit but right now I am more concerned about general hosting issues.

FTP API and S3 API modules proposal
In the ongoing process of simplifying module development and reducing the duplication of effort, I'm proposing creating two modules- FTP API and S3 API. These modules will only provide these services and some configuration API. They will not provide a UI for the actual browsing and moving of files. I see the following functionality for each module:
- getting file list from specified directory
- getting file
- putting file
- setting file permissions
- global settings (user/pass, directory)
- per-user settings (optional)

S3 integration module
I was expecting a Drupal module for S3 to already be in existence by now, as there isn't I have a proposal for a module I'm considering developing. Any feedback or suggestions on the implementation/features are greatly welcome.
This is not intended to be a full FileAPI-like module, but more a helper for general node related usage.
- Support for node attachments (Core upload.module), CCK filefield uploads etc that are attached to a node.
- Upon publishing of a node, any associated files are streamed over to Amazon S3 bucket(s).
