Event Notifications for Amazon S3

I was very excited when I saw this headline, as for a while I've hosted various things on s3 and have wanted an easy way to track when/how/by whom those things have been downloaded. Alas, that isn't a supported...I'm looking for something like: "s3:ObjectViewed:Get". Or am I mistaken and that already exists in some other form...?

Of all the features that S3 has shipped, this is by far my favorite. I look forward to utilizing Lambda and S3 to build an ultra cheap content management service to drive the cost of my website management to less than a $1/mo.

Nice feature, but, again, not available in CloudFormation. I understand the challenge to coordinate releases, I can live with a week or two lag, but usually it&#x27;s months - CloudFormation still doesn&#x27;t support basic AWS services. I really am considering abandoning this gem, which is highly neglected and underutilized. Terraform [1] looks like something I can extend myself easily if the upstream doesn&#x27;t support something just yet and contribute it as a pull request.<p>[1] <a href="https://terraform.io/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;terraform.io&#x2F;</a>

Too bad they did not differentiate between Create and Overwrite (as far as I can tell) as that is a an important difference (I need to solve scenarios where idempotency is needed - more than 1 worker may create exact same email message due to fault tolerance design, but at least AND at most 1 email should be sent to customer. I was hoping that the s3 filename&#x2F;key would be the unique identifier and if there was separate notification for overwrite than from create, email could be sent only for create event only.)

Very cool!<p>Are there any ordering guarantees for these notifications? Specifically the order in which objects were created? It would be nice to be able to generate a meaningful event log.

This is awesome, and the cost is pretty affordable. I don&#x27;t know if the lambada feature was there before, but it&#x27;s pretty cool!

At first glance, this combined with Lambda would make for an awesome server-less image transformation setup.

Have I missed something or is there no way to get notified when an object gets deleted?
