If a GET fails, just retry as usual
Thanks! This is a very important detail which isn't documented anywhere: Retries are likely to succeed. A service where 1% of requests fail but failures are completely uncorrelated is far more usable than a service where 0.01% of requests fail but they keep on failing no matter how many times you retry them.

However, its SLA is a little more involved (for better or worse): http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/sla/ http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/sla/ I'm not accessing S3 from EC2, though, so another benefit for me was it brought my S3 network costs way down.
