Hosting S3 has grown to 5 billion files
For the first time since the existence of Amazon Web Services (AWS), at least some figures have appeared that reflect the development of this innovative project. Jeff Bezos reported on the development of hosting S3 , which, together with the “cloud computing” EC2 is considered to be an ideal platform for startups. At the Web 2.0 conference, the founder of the Amazon.com empire said that the hosting volume grew to five billion files, whereas in July last year only 800 thousand files were stored on the hosting. On peak days, Bezos said, servers handle up to 920 million read / write requests. Record - 16607 requests per second.
True, one of the "infrastructure" services Amazon has not yet begun to bring the company a profit. As you know, AWS services opened in 2004. In addition to hosting S3 and EC2 computing cloud, the package also includes messaging hosting for Simple Queue Service (SQS) web services, as well as the “mechanical Turk” Mechanical Turk and several other services. For three years, thousands of Internet startups and even some large corporations, such as Microsoft, have become AWS clients.
The popularity of AWS is due to the incredible low cost hosting for startups. Jeff Bezos gives this example: Blue Origin , whose website uses S3 hosting to store videos, launched a spacecraft into Earth orbit in January. Video transmission was conducted directly from the Blue Origin website and on this day the S3 infrastructure shipped 3.5 million web pages and 758 GB of data. So, for the whole of January, the bill for S3 services was only $ 304.23 (three hundred and four dollars and 23 cents).
