Hi,

I'm interested in using ResourceSpace for a website CMS where files need to be stored and served on the website from a CDN such as Rackspace Cloud Files or Amazon S3, and also how to tackle the problem of serving images in many different sizes in the front end website. 

I'm aware that there is an S3sync plugin for ResourceSpace, although I haven't been able to easily uncover the docs, or how it works yet. I assume this works by allowing ResourceSpace to manage files locally to the ResourceSpace installation, and then background syncing them all to s3. Is this likely to be easily transferrable to other CDNs, presumably by updating API details?

I'm also generally concerned about the need to serve image files on a website front end in multiple sizes, and crop ratios. I normally use PHP GD to resize and cache local images, but am outgrowing this as I need to be serving these assets via load balanced CDNs such as Amazon ec2. I know this is a bit of a broad question, but does anybody have experience using ResourceSpace in this way? Specifically, how can I manage resources on cloud CDNs, and still allow web applications to access resized images including sizes which get defined after images have already been uploaded?

Thanks.

Just found this: https://bitnami.com/stack/resourcespace/cloud/amazon

Looks like it's possible to use ResourceSpace in the cloud. i'm still generally confused however about how I access my web application can create resized versions of images uploaded into resourcespace.

Hey Xanld. 
The Bitnami link is for an EC2 AMI. It's a template to boot up an amazon EC2 instance with resourcespace installed. Unfortunately, it does't have a built-in integration to S3
