I think this post missed an important point. So for some people here talking about other solutions or alternatives. Using cloudfront brings you a really great feature that is CDN. Your site is hosted on many locations over the world, this means less latency. The Cloudfront page even says that the amazon prime movies are stored using Cloudfront. So IMHO this provides a great architectural design to your project

It's possible that those alternatives provide global deployments.

I mean yeah. But it is probably not as good as the replication aws cloudfront provides you. In my opinion the reason to go for this approach is just that. Cloudfront charges for that.
