Publishing static site with CloudFront + S3

It’s not common to publish a static site with S3 alone, and it’s often used in combination with CloudFront.

Operating with S3 alone has the risk of high billing when there’s heavy traffic to the S3 bucket. By using CloudFront and S3 together, you can prevent high billing.
