First and foremost, you can now place a single CloudFront distribution in front of your site, including the dynamic or interactive portions that make use of HTML forms or accept user data in some other way. You no longer have to create and manage multiple distributions or domain names in order to accept POST or PUT requests.
Second, your users can now benefit from accelerated content uploads. After you enable the additional HTTP methods for your application's distribution, PUT and POST operations will be sent to the origin (e.g. Amazon S3) via the CloudFront edge location, improving efficiency, reducing latency, and allowing the application to benefit from the monitored, persistent connections that CloudFront maintains from the edge locations to the origin servers.
So you get to save on having to configure and serve multiple domain names (which isn't all that hard), but you have to add logic to your server side code and user exposed uploading UX to check and display to the user if content is finished being uploaded by the user to cloudfront and by cloudfront to the origin/backing store before using/processing/displaying it.
