A comment on I Setup My Own Personal CDN Using Cloudflare and S3.

tl;dr for anyone ever needing to use S3 as a website:

- S3 bucket w/ same name as domain.

- CNAME to bucket

- OR enable static website hosting, CNAME to your bucket's website dns name provided by AWS.

- Done, just make sure CF is proxying not doing pass-thru.

- PS, permissions need to allow public read of your data, of course.

Or if you're already in the AWS ecosystem, maybe don't even bother with Cloudflare and just use AWS CloudFront?

I can't think of a good reason to not use Cloudflare. They are incredible.

(That being said, there is nothing wrong with Cloudfront. On a recent project we are using all three, cloudfront and cloudflare are not mutually exclusive)

Cloudflare acts as a transparent proxy, cloud front lets you cache only s3 buckets...
