The list of reasons not to use a third party CDN in this article are:
1) It might have bugs. You are trusting someone else to run the infrastructure.
2) They might choose profits over customer experience "because they are a business".
3) They might capture and sell/leak metadata on where/when your customers visit your site.
The author then goes on to describe using Route 53 and Amazon EKS to deploy your own CDN. (Which doesn't seem to address points 1, 2, or 3 at all?)
There's not a single mention of Cloudfront.
Something doesn't add up here.
