Amazon gives developers a birthday gift
Amazon’s popular S3 cloud storage service is turning three years old. In the three years since its launch S3 has opened up shop in Europe, drop prices, added auto backups for persistent storage on EC2, and plugged into their Cloudfront CDN service.
Three years and 52 billion stored objects later Amazon wants to say thank you by providing some birthday deals to developers out there. Data transfer costs into S3 will cost $0.03 for the next three months instead of the traditional $0.10.
You can find out more information about the service at http://aws.amazon.com/s3
