CloudFront uses a pull model, not a push model. When a particular node needs the data and doesn't have it cached, the node fetches the data from S3.

Aha, 10x!
If you have couple of files in the CDN it will not make sense, because the cost to distribute the files around will be marginal, but if you have many GB of data, distributing them to all unneeded servers might be not cost efficient.
