I'd like to set up a simple gallery for users to upload pictures onto my D7 site, but uploading a bunch of images is sure to make my site run slower and my hosting costs go up. So I'm looking at a CDN (specifically, blob or object storage).

Both of the Azure modules (1 and 2) are not actively maintained, and the Amazon S3 module is still in beta, so I'd be hesitant to use it on a production site.

Here's my question: Is there any good Druapl module that will let me bypass the filesystem on the webserver so that users can upload images directly to a CDN? I know there are hooks in D7 that make this possible, but has anyone actually managed to do it yet? I can't believe there isn't better support for CDNs for Drupal. :(

Drupal 7 has robust CDN integration with a number of options. You can consider the Storage API module for S3 integration among others.

Storage API is a low-level framework for managed file storage and serving.

Also consider the CDN module.

This module provides easy Content Delivery Network integration for Drupal sites. It alters file URLs, so that files are downloaded from a CDN instead of your web server.

  • I was not aware that Storage API came bundled with an S3 provider. I'll give this a try. Thanks! – qJake Jan 6 '14 at 14:52
