I have a client that wants me to develop an image and video library which I've already done with Drupal since the taxonomy among other things works very well. My challenge now is to handle the storage requirements. Initially we will need about 1TB and eventually about 2TB. Amazon S3 seemed like a great option, both cost effective and scalable. I just can't figure out how to have the system/modules store the images in my bucket rather than a directory on the server. Cloudfront looked like it might work but from what I understand, it's temporary storage and you still have to have the original files on the local site server. Given the growth of digital media, I'm surprised this hasn't been a hot topic.
