Hi I have some data(videos, images) saved in my bucket in aws. I want that data to be transferred to some other hosting service https://www.microhost.com. Any advice is helpful.
you could just run it as you'll do from your local env.
Install the AWS CLI tools and setup with your account
run aws s3 sync s3://<yourbucket> . from your new host
The easiest way is to connect with a client to S3, download the files to your computer, and upload them using FTP to your new hosting provider.
There are many S3 and FTP clients. Cyberduck is a free one that does both and works on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

I am doing some research where I need to find the corresponding tool for archiving. So, what will be the equivalent of amazon glacier in the Azure environment
The Azure equivalent service to AWS S3 is Azure Storage. S3 defines several storage classes, Glacier is one of them.
Azure Storage has the concepts of different access tiers. I think the Archive tier is the closest match to S3 Glacier. Another option would be the cool tier. Which one to choose depends on the frequency the data is accessed.
Equivalent service is the Azure Storage. You can always explore from the site.

I wanted to map s3 bucket as windows drive. I am aware then there are tools avalible in the market to do this but i want to solve this using AWS Python BOTO. Also i am aware of moving the files from drive to s3 but i want s3 as windows drive.Please let me know some logical ideas as how to achieve this
Amazon S3 is an object storage service. It is not a filesystem or virtual disk.
The commercial utilities (eg CloudBerry Drive) create virtual disks and translate disk access to API calls to Amazon S3. Files are downloaded/uploaded and buffered on the local disk. It is quite a complex process.
You would not be able to create a similar utility using only Python. You would need to create device drivers for Windows.
Generally, it is recommended not to mount an Amazon S3 bucket as a drive. While generally okay for an initial load of data, it should not be used in a production situation because performance is not reliable.
The correct way to use Amazon S3 is to make API calls directly to the service.
See: S3 — Boto 3 documentation

I have an AWS EC2 instance that I would like to have various relevent people stop and start. In a perfect world I would like a really simple way for a select handful of people to stop and start an EC2 instance without giving them too many permissions. If I could make it so they just click 1 button to do it, that would be perfect.
Starting/Stopping an Amazon EC2 instance can be done via the:
AWS Management Console
AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI)
AWS SDK for many popular programming languages
The important thing to realize is that users do not have do issue the stop/start command themselves! They can use an in-between system that makes the call for them.
For example, if you have internal intranet, you could configure some code to start/stop instances when a user requests it via the website. The website would then issue the command to AWS (via the CLI or SDK), without the users themselves requiring any special access credentials (they just need access to your internal website).
This is similar to your "just click 1 button" idea, with the button being on your intranet.

Recently I have switched my hosting from bluehost to amazon ec2. I need to know, how my application would be able to send the emails from amazon ec2? Do I need to install any smtp server on my instance or I have to configure amazon SES? Please help.
thanks in advance.
Noone gets to send email directly out of EC2 without signing up to SES and working within its constraints. Good grief, AWS would just be one enormous and thoroughly blackholed spam factory without SES in place.
Might also be worth looking at whether AWS's SNS might be a better solution for whatever you're trying to do.
Update: it is possible to send email directly from AWS, but you'll want to let AWS know by filling in a form so that they can whitelist the IP.
Update: More up to date treatment of this topic in this question.

There are two major offering of cloud computing environment by Amazon through AWS and by Rackspace through Rackspace cloud. I wanted to know more about What are cons/pros of one platform over other. That will help me in deciding platform for my future applications.
Please see some of these links to better analyze & understand the difference between Amazon Cloud Server with Rackspace Cloud.
Things come into my mind:
Amazon server stack has CHOICES possibly everything, but Rackspace server stack is fixed.
Control everything on your server stack with Amazon but Rackspace - NOPE.
You can play around with various services (EBS, EIP, S3, etc) in Amazon server to suite your price, you can't with Rackspace, since you are priced for the whole stack.
In Amazon - single EBS AMI, you can have many different instance types of machine.
