Make your Videos playback faster with S3/CloudFront
August 15, 2010 by Leave a Comment
In our class today for members, I am going to walk you through the key steps in using S3 and CloudFront to deliver your rich media files in RapidWeaver (in my example today we are using video)
Now , I have been using S3 ever since it was first launched a couple of years ago in addition to the more recent CloudFront service. The initial videos we delivered when starting SupportCasts were delivered over S3. However, we now use a commercial CDN offering too but our image storage is handled by S3 for all those who want to know.
Whilst I will not go into the boring details of signing up , if you have an Amazon.com account you are almost there as these are extra add-on services. What I will show you is the following:
- S3 setup with the AWS management console
- bucket creation
- File permissions
- configuring CloudFront
- using the media file in RapidWeaver.
After going through the initial setup, using S3 is a breeze and you will find it is a useful addition to compliment your web hosting which may not be so hot in delivering rich media in other words not great bandwidth throughput and general scalability which is always a problem with shared hosting. Not unless you running your own VPS ;)
Brace yourself for a nice 18 minutes of geeky fun, mistakes and all, and let us know what you think about delivering your videos over CloudFront/S3 (c’mon folks it was a rainy Sunday afternoon here).
Have fun and remember this lesson is only available for 6 and 12 month memberships.

RWBasics010 – Offsite Page Style
February 18, 2010 by 1 Comment
The Offsite Page type allows you to link to any URL, generally a web page outside of your website, that you want to link to. It is also quite useful in linking up a Rapidweaver created website that has been broken into multiple web site projects to help reduce the size of a large project or potential size.
Creating multiple Rapidweaver projects and publishing them to sub folders or sub domains on your server is a great way to make it easy to update even small parts of a site. In this cast we look at this for use in a Photo Album site. But it could be any site that needs to be broken down into components to make it easy to work with.
This is the 10th tutorial in the new updated series.
