When to use Amazon Cloudfront or S3

Question

Are there use cases that lend themselves better to Amazon cloudfront over s3 or the other way around? I\'m trying to understand the difference between the 2 through examples

Answer 1

Amazon S3 is a great object storage platform if you are looking for a globally distributed storage system to protect against regions/zones going down. It is also great for static/fixed content that is not transactional and changing such as pictures, videos, images, backups, etc. Hope that helps!
