This is a general question, so I am going to give a general answer. I would highly recommend reading the documentation for each of these AWS services.

S3: https://aws.amazon.com/s3/
EC2: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/
Glacier: https://aws.amazon.com/glacier/
ElastiCache: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticache/
RDS: https://aws.amazon.com/rds/

All of these could be used to some extent (though ineffectively), but the use case you describe is what S3 does best. Good luck!

Use Simple Storage Service AKA S3. Add a CloudFront distribution in front of it. For better security, use Pre-Signed URLs.
