User generated image content such as avatars, header images, post image attachments are stored on a AWS (Amazon Web Services) S3 bucket in the us-east-2 region. Aforementioned image content is then distributed via the AWS Cloudfront CDN (Content Delivery Network).

Post attachment image content fetched from external instances is stored for 7 days after which it is removed from the S3 bucket and will need to be refetched to be viewed on Ten Forward.
