Is there a way with PeerTube to use Backblaze and Cloudflare as an object store and content server of last resort? Similar to how Amazon S3 supports serving objects as torrents but you can also retrieve it directly over HTTPS.

I think if you had a torrent with an HTTP seed, you could import it into PeerTube.

That's what PeerTube does already - it uses webseeds. You can pretty easily set it up so videos are served through a CDN.
