My data lives on an AWS S3 instance, I'm (considering) deploying an website on Pagoda Box. Is it possible to configure my instance so it reads and writes data from S3?
Solution
You can access S3 from PagodaBox
Create a IAM user under your AWS account and add the policy allowing access to your S3 buckets.
Generate and note down the access key and secret for the user.
Using the the access key, secret and AWS PHP SDK in your PagodaBox application, you can access S3 content.
