Note to self: how to use Amazon S3 storage

Derek found this description that seems better than Jungle Disk. I noticed the Jungle Disk app was trying to connect to weird non-amazon IP addresses, so I didn’t feel comfortable using it.

This looks nice, being able to store stuff for $0.15 per GB per month.

    I’ve been using and developing against s3 for about 6 months now. It rocks. EC2 is even more interesting; it’s great to have a place to spin up test configurations without having to maintain machines/images/etc. yourself. I don’t know if they reopened the beta but you should check it out when you get a chance.
