Additionally, Cloudfront is cheaper than S3!

  Unless I'm missing the sarcasm, you still pay for your S3 usage when you're using CloudFront.

    As I understand it not every request will hit S3, only cache misses on the edge servers. "Amazon CloudFront uses Amazon S3 as the origin server to store the original, definitive versions of your files. Normal fees will apply for Amazon S3 usage, including “origin fetches” – data transferred from Amazon S3 to edge locations."
