AWS CloudFront is already very cheap and easy to get setup, probably less than 5 mins. No reason to go through a 3rd party. CloudFlare is even easier, better and completely free.

I don't see why this is worth the risk (or IMO, the trouble).

CloudFront is cheap to start using, it does not stay cheap much like most of Amazon's offerings.

Then use CloudFlare.

And if it doesnt stay cheap for you, then why would it for this guy? He even says to keep the traffic small in which case paying for your own CloudFront distribution with the security, performance and control it brings is far better.
