s3nuke is a single-file Ruby script to delete very large Amazon S3 buckets. It uses multiple threads to retrieve and delete the individual objects in a bucket efficiently regardless of their number. In the use case for which the author wrote it, a bucket containing 260,000 files was deleted in a matter of minutes.

Web Log Analysis for CloudFront & Amazon S3 – S3STAT
S3STAT is a service that takes the detailed server access logs provided by Amazon’s CloudFront and Simple Storage Service (S3), and translates them into human readable statistics, reports and graphs.
Every night, we’ll download your access logs, translate them, sort them, and run them through Webalizer, the industry-standard web analytics reporting package. We’ll take the processed log files and reports, and stick them right back into your Amazon S3 Bucket for you to view.

Amazon Web Services – Announcing “Requester Pays” Option for S3
You can now configure an Amazon S3 bucket to bill the requester, rather than you (the bucket owner), for both request and bandwidth fees associated with access to the bucket. Requests against such buckets must be authenticated and bear a header that signifies consent to be billed for the request. Bandwidth between EC2 and S3 within a region remains free of charge when this option is enabled.
