vs. Amazon Akamai s3 objects Tools End Sep Dehpour is the primary engineer on a Django site that has over 1.5 million page views per day. His responsibilities range from systems administration, Chef DevOps, performance optimizations to new feature development. Sep is an avid skier and likes to think he is a good surfer too, but that shit ain't easy. About the presenter Wednesday, November 20, 13

vs. Amazon Akamai s3 objects Tools End Comparison in glance Pay as you grow from 10¢/GB/Mo Akamai CDN at 12¢/GB at 213 PoP Store files and media of any size Highly scalable, redundant Pay as you grow from 9.5¢/GB/Mo Cloudfront CDN at 12¢/GB Store files and media of any size Highly scalable, redundant Wednesday, November 20, 13
vs. Amazon Akamai s3 objects Tools End CDN Comparison in glance Akamai is delivering 20-30% of web Apple, Netflix, Amazon.com 1,200 points of presence (PoP) But Rackspace plan uses 213 PoP Akamai NetSession Interface peer-to-peer Nasa, PBS 40 super PoP no peer-to-peer Tip: Use hQp://www.cdnplanet.com/tools/cdnfinder to find the CDN used to serve sta1c content. Put the full path to an image or CSS file to see what CDN is serving it. Wednesday, November 20, 13
vs. Amazon Akamai s3 objects Tools End So what’s exactly on S3/Cloud Files? Container{ Containers at the root level holding objects Object { “key”:”path to file to simulate a nested folder structure”, “etag”:MD5 checksum, “content_type”:Mime Type, “ttl”: time to expire on CDN }, ... } Wednesday, November 20, 13

vs. Amazon Akamai s3 objects Tools End Go S3: A light wrapper around Python Boto https://github.com/erasmose/go_s3 When to use Go_s3? You have custom file read/write in your apps or 3rd party apps that are not compatible with “Django Storages” and you don’t have time to go through making it use “Django default storage” so it gets compatible with “Django Storages” or You want to have full control over what goes on S3 and its access control (ACL) Python Go S3 Wednesday, November 20, 13
vs. Amazon Akamai s3 objects Tools End ACL canned access control policy a. private: Owner gets FULL_CONTROL. No one else has any access rights. b. public-‐read: Owners gets FULL_CONTROL and the anonymous principal is granted READ access. c. public-‐read-‐write: Owner gets FULL_CONTROL and the anonymous principal is granted READ and WRITE access. d. authenticated-‐read: Owner gets FULL_CONTROL and any principal authenticated as a registered Amazon S3 user is granted READ access Python Go S3 Wednesday, November 20, 13
