Definitely do not use s3 or cloudfront for video streaming. They're exorbitantly expensive. You can get bandwidth for 1/10th the price with other companies.
In fact, I tried to use s3 as an origin server with a CDN from another company in front of it. s3 cost literally 10x as much as the CDN. Literally just to get the files to edge servers, cost 10x as much as getting files from edge servers to users. Absolutely unacceptable.
I love AWS, I use it for almost everything. All my sites are hosted on ec2 instances. But it's fucking terrible for video streaming.
