    Integrating Amazon's CDN with Umbraco

    Does anyone know if it is possible to integrate Amazon Cloudfront with Umbraco? I would be very interested in being able to serve uploaded media images via the CDN rather than off our my server and obviously then rewrite the URLs to point to their Cloudfront location once they are uploaded.

    I think I have seen someone mentioning writing a custom upload control on the archived forum but would anyone please be able to provide some simple code examples or briefly describe the necessary steps in order to do this?

    I can't help directly with your question, but the source code of a multiple file upload package is available from http://noerd.dk/umbraco-ressources/multiple-file-upload/noerd.Umb.DataTypes.multipleFileUpload_source_1.1.zip. ; You may be able to learn from it?

    Hi Giles,

    I have actually just completed a Package that connects to the Amazon S3.

    IN the media section you can see you complete S3 account.

    1. Create new folders in your S3 account
    2. Upload documents to a specific fodler you have created
    3. add the Amazons3 as a datatype so you can navigate through your S3 account to add images, docs etc to your site.

    I am just finishing testing, so if your interested I can send you over a copy, you can be my guinea pig

    Tom - Are you planning to release this as free package or commercial?

    Hi Giles,

    Cool, once I have finished the pdf doc I will send over the entire package for you to cast your eyes over.

    Chris,

    I was thinking of doing it as a commercial package, but then would of ran into problems of supporting the product as working full time and trying to support a paid package, I would not of been able to support such a package as much as I would of liked to, plus with the amount of free packages I have already used, i thought it would only be fair to give back.

    This is really good - I've been thinking S3 is the way forward for the media section for a while now, and am so glad that someone has beaten me to it

    Hi Chris,

    Glad you think its a really good idea.

    The main idea is because i felt that it could make Umbraco run quicker on larger sites as there would be no media nodes stored in the cmsContentXML table making the retrieval of content quicker as you could select your files with a data type (going to build it into Tiny MCE soon).

    Hey Tom, Did you get anywhere with this package? Or do you need any more guinea pigs? I've a client that wants to upload oodles of MP3 recordings to their site and S3 would be a cost effective way to ease the burden on my server..

    Did I say please? ;)

    abriggs - yep its done and sent the package out to Giles the other day.

    The more Guinea pigs the better - send me an email to: letstalk [at] tom-maton [co.uk] and I will send you over a copy of the package.

    I will try to setup a codeplex at the weekend for people to down load and log bugs.

    anyone else what to test it out??

    Tom

    Tom, it would be interesting to see your implementation, I also just implemented the basics of this in my current project, so maybe we can learn from each other: sebastiaan at cultiv . nl

    Hi Sean,

    The project can be found at:

    Codeplex http://amazons3umbraco.codeplex.com/

    or

    Umbraco projects http://our.umbraco.org/projects/amazon-s3-datatype

    It is still basic but working on an integration into Richtext Editor

    Hi Tom, thanks for this package. Does the package actually deliver content from CloudFront or S3? My understanding is that you have to serve content through CloudFront, even though the files are on S3, to get the benefits of the CDN.

    HI Amir,

    You there is a doctype in the project that allows you to select a document from the S3.

    You just need to add it to a doctype or media type and then you can access the S3 account.

    Hi Tom, I understand that part, my question is whether S3 is actually a CDN? I thought Cloudfront was Amazon's Content Delivery Network, which draws files from S3, and the title of this thread implies that this is an umbraco / cdn integration. Not sure if I'm missing something here, or if this is just a configuration setting on Amazon's end...
