First title live
Our first public title is now on S3 - switched it over yesterday. Seems ok, but I still want to improve the speed of uncached pages a little.

Uploading the rest of the data tree to S3 in the background. Now that catapult knows when to leave existing files alone can re-run it as required to send any updates.

Logging is enabled for S3 requests.

DNS for our media alias is in place, but the service isn't yet using it - giving it time to propagate. Will enable it for the next release.

Current list of milestones for the transition:

1. Serve all page images from S3 (which will mean getting the import system to upload pages directly, also switching backups over to grabbing from S3).


2. Move index integration to EC2.


3. Move db to EC2.


4. Run a webserver instance on EC2, alongside our existing servers.


5. Switch mail handling to the EC2 server, routing through an external SMTP service.


6. Switch DNS to point to the EC2 webservers.

Next actions:

1. Speed up page generation for S3 content.


2. Package up catapult and integrate with import process.
