S3 is great for static content. I was taking the AWS ops course and the instructor mentioned some very large organizations redirect their site to S3 when under DDOS so they can remain on-line. In fact, he said that AWS recommended this solution to them?! Can you fathom someone who is under DDOS, and you tell them, hey, just redirect that our way ;)

You pay for the bandwidth on AWS. Of course they would be glad to redirect a DDOS their way. It's pure gold for AWS.
