I am looking for a way to pass log events from AWS application to my company site.
The thing is that the AWS application is 100% firewalled from everything except only one IP address because it's encryption related service.
I just don't know what service I should use to do this. There's so many services so I do really have no idea what is it.
I think I'd just use simple message service, does this makes sense? The thing is there's plenty of events (let's say 1M per day), so I don't want big extra costs for this.
Sorry for the generic question, but I think it's quite concrete - "What is the most optimal way to pass event message from AWS when volume is approx 1M per day each 256 bytes on average?".
I'd like to connect to AWS service instead to any of the EC2 hosts...
On both sides I have tomcats with AWS-SDK.
I just want to avoid rewriting. Maybe I should do it with S3? The files are immutable, but I could upload files every 1h. I don't need real-time events. I just need to have logfiles on site for analysis of user experience and that customers can access it, but having log in 1M chunks would either require further assembling etc, I am really confused, sorry.
Kinesis is good for streaming event data. S3 is good if you already have files that you want stored.

I have a personal website hosted on aws using s3, cloudfront and route53, but as time goes by I would like to have some dynamic functionalities such as allowing visitors to leave a private message. May I know what is the best option for me? Should I use an EC2 instance? Or Lambda + API gateway... etc?
Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks!
I would recommend that you start at Choose Your Web Application Infrastructure because there is no single answer.
There are different factors to take into account when deciding which service to use to deploy your first web application on the AWS Cloud. You should consider if you want a managed infrastructure with low stress, if you need containers (and why) or if you want full control and customization.
As I think you currently don't have server-side rendering type of setup that is great news for you to host a personal website, For any dynamic backend related stuff you can use AWS Lambda functions for contact forms submissions and other things and the price would also no very low to host these rather than switching to ec2

A video player sends the server log data about what the user has been doing (start, pause, play, playing, etc.)
Sending the logs to the server and storing them in the DB, then running queued jobs to calculate stats on these has worked... okay, so far.
It's clear there should be some sort of optimization here. What services provide the best custom log storage?
What would be the best manual option? Considering running some Lambda functions and storing in AWS (RDS?) manually, but wondering if the maintenance of such a service is warranted.
I would store the logs in AWS S3 (Storage) and then use AWS Glue (Transform) and AWS Athena for ad-hoc querying of different stats, this will still work out cheaper than using a traditional database approach plus it has a lot of other advantages.

I was discussing with friends about the best way to store files in amazon.
I believed that an s3 bucket was the best way to save static files as images from a website.
But friends said that it is not the best way to work with s3 because of the high cost of having this image requested many times.
I need to know the best place to save images that will be rendered inside my site (which is inside an EC2 instance).
Could someone clarify this doubt? Saving images inside the S3 in sites that have many requests is expensive?
For storing static files like images AWS S3 is one of the best option.
S3 is one of the cheapest cloud storage, you won't be charged for the number of times it's read, only amount of outbound traffic will bbe charged. For get requuest/put request there is also a charge, but you shouldn't need it as per my understanding, you can clarify your use case more precisely. You can also calculate the price here.

For our videoplatform we store all of our videofiles in AWS S3 (sometimes deliver them on CloudFront). Customers are divided into groups; for every group we created a bucket with a Cost A. Tag.
So at this point we can monitor storage and streaming costs for a group. But for a new project we are required to get those reports based on the customers.
What should be the best approach? We could create a bucket for every customer, but i'm not a fan of that.
We could inspect the access logs; but according to the manual they can be "wrong".
Any suggestions?
The documentation is only hedging against the occasional lost or delayed log file. They are not guaranteed to be perfect, but in practice, they are reliable. I get the sense that the purpose of the disclaimer is to avoid petty disputes, rather than significant discrepancies.
Consider using the logs to do your own reporting on your existing projects, where you already know the costs... and compare those results to the results you get with the tag-based billing setup. If the answers are consistent, the problem seems effectively solved.

I have read a couple articles and I know the basic concept of cloud computing..But I still don't know what exactly I can do with this service.
As a mobile application developer, I have developed a couple of iPhone applications. I have a Bluehost account and I have MySQL database in there. I have a couple PHP scripts on my server and on device side, it sends http request to the server to get the data from database in XML format. That is basically how I designed and implemented my applications..
Now what can I do with a cloud computing? If I use a cloud computing service such as AWS then how it is going to change the structure of my application?
Thanks in advance...
Cloud computing doesn't necessarily have to change the structure of your app. The main benefit of cloud computing in a lot of cases is scaling.
Right now if your iPhone apps become really popular and overload your current host, what do you do?
Using the cloud, you could spin up new instances (servers) on demand almost instantly. Another benefit is you only pay for what you need. Of course, depending on the situation, it might require changes to your structure to take advantage of scaling features.
edit: Specific to AWS, they have a service called Elastic Load Balancing. Take a look: http://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/
