Where to store images in Amazon AWS for use in RDS

I am currently creating a bunch of tables in a MySQL service in Amazon RDS. Some tables should have links to images. What I'm trying to figure out is where I put the images? Do they go to RDS somewhere? or do I put them in S3 and associate them with RDS? If the latter, how to do it?

I was looking for this from this, with no conclusion, so any help would be great.

Depending on image sizes, use cases, etc., I would probably save the images in S3.

You can save the S3 path as a database field. You can create a bucket as a domain name (for example, images.example.com) and specify a CNAME in the bucket to get direct access to the images. You can also use various S3 libraries to generate expired URLs if you want to enable security.

You can store them as binary data in a column in RDS or use S3. If you use S3, you store the http-url on the image in RDS, and then get the image via http from S3.
