Amazon S3 and CloudFront

Hi Troops

Amazon S3 thingie wotsit is the way forward for video/file delievery right? Now, I've signed up for the S3 thing, I've uploaded my videos into buckets (Using the S3 Fox plugin) ...but I know I'm supposed to use CloudFront for the delievery so that it is very fast when downloading.

So, stupid question, where do I go to use the cloudfront thing, or tell it I want to use clodfront for the distribution, I've found articles in Amazon but it just seems to tell you what it is and some techy code stuff, I also can't find any youtube videos on it.

Any ideas??

Thanks,
Phil

    Well, I signed up to EZS3.com and they handle pretty much everything...even cloudfront integration.

    Oh ok, I hadn't heard of them, I'll check them out, I assume it's a service you pay for and then they do the work??

    Many thanks

    It's $20 a month. You can host all your files plus you can stream videos from their service.

      You sign up for Cloudfront at Amazon. Then, after uploading videos using S3Fox and setting your ACL permissions, right click on the bucket and click on Manage Distributions. Next, click Create Distribution. It will start creating one. Copy the cryptic URL and use it for distributing or in your video player embed.

      Failing that, turn your Skype back on Teaboy

    Haha, see Kevin, that's why you're known as the 'Step by Step Blueprint' man. Written in plain English for me to understand!!

    Thanks for your help!! See, why couldn't they just write that in Amazon help rather than 20 pages of fluff!!

    Cheers,
    Phil
