"I Didn’t Know S3 Could Do That!", with Brian Klaas

We're happy to announce another session of the Online ColdFusion Meetup to be held Thursday Aug 6th at 12pm US Eastern Time, UTC-4.

Please note that starting with this meeting, we will be trying alternative online meeting providers, after using Adobe Connect for 15 years. (Its reliance on Flash, among other things, have become a hindrance.) With this first meeting, we will be trying Zoom, including finally the option to dial in! :-)

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

Millions of developers know Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) as the file system for the Internet: it's fast, cheap, and super durable. CFML developers have dead-simple access to S3 via built-in functionality. S3 goes way beyond just uploading and downloading files, though. By dropping down into the AWS Java SDK, we can unlock the full potential of S3, and that's exactly what we'll do in this session.

In this session we'll look at how to:

• Secure your files in S3 with time-expiring URLs
• Increase security over what's built into the CFML engines by accessing S3 via the Java SDK
• Encrypt objects at rest in S3
• Cut your storage costs by using different S3 storage classes
• Automatically archive unused files after a set period of time
• Use the rock-solid object versioning available in S3
• Use tags to be able to filter and report on millions of objects in S3
