In this episode, we cover the following topics:

• We discuss the features and limitations of serving files directly from S3.
• We then talk about how CloudFront can address many of S3's limitations. In particular, CloudFront is performant, inexpensive and allows us to use custom CNAMEs with TLS encryption.
• How to create a secure CloudFront distribution for files hosted in S3.
• What is OAI (Origin Access Identity), why we need it and how to set it up.
• We show how you can configure your CloudFront distribution to use TLS and redirect HTTP to HTTPS.
• We finish up by discussing "byte-range requests" and how to enable them for our image hosting solution.
