You can't upload through Cloudfront. It's a good analogy though, you can think of this feature as a "CDN for uploads", if you'll excuse the abuse of the CDN acronym.

You cant? PUT/POST through Cloudfront supported since October 2013.

"You can use existing Amazon CloudFront distributions for upload requests by simply enabling support in the AWS management console. When end users upload content, CloudFront will send the upload request back to the origin web server (such as an Amazon S3 bucket, an Amazon EC2 instance, an Elastic Load Balancer, or your own origin server) over an optimized route that uses persistent connections, TCP/IP and network path optimizations."

I stand corrected, thanks for the info. Cloudfront doesn't appear to support multi-part uploads however, which I guess is the primary value-add of the newly announced service.

You're welcome. And you're correct. As long as you don't need to upload multi parts in parallel or objects over 5GB, standard upload works fine.

Without multipart upload, you can't resume uploads. Even with moderate sized files that's a bummer.

[toomuchtodo]

That gets less important each passing year as connections get faster, even on mobile. I agree you can't restart uploads though without multi part support.

Can you elaborate on why you came to this conclusion? I am able to do multipart uploads via cloudfront to s3.
