I thought this was obvious? Amazon's Cloudfront on the other hand is a CDN and works great :)

@davidandgoliath you would think so. But a lot of companies ignore it.

You also seem to have ignored it in your post, any reason you didn't test cloudfront?

If only Route53 allowed you to point the apex domain at Cloudfront (as I understand it, it's currently S3 or ELB).

Why would you get fired for covering an obvious and well-known CDN alternative in your blog post? Honestly interested :-)
