Well. I'm out of disk space at my web hosting provider. This worries me.

@drwho I know it's the evil empire but S3 is ludicrously cheap for hosting stuff.

It's how I host my 2 blogs and I get charged literal cents per month. That's also including a CloudFront distribution for SSL.

@feoh @drwho you absolutely *have* to use CloudFront otherwise you will get killed in billing. You *will* be charged for every object fetch from the S3 storage and without CloudFront that means I can just deploy a script to fetch your site's resources in a loop and bankrupt you

@feld @feoh Ouch! That's a good point. Thank you.

@drwho @feoh yes never expose a raw S3 bucket to the public for any reason at all

@feld @drwho Also, what's my alternative?

An oh so carefully locked down web server instance with all that attack surface?

Some other secret infosec practitioners handshake static site hosting? Would love a pointer to that or what other configuration you'd favor. I'm always open to new ideas.

@feoh @feld @drwho
Well, yes.

As noted, S3 charges per fetch and those fees will kill you.

The *storage* is cheap, and you know Amazon is going to make a profit somewhere
