I spent some time over the past weekend migrating my static-generated blog over to S3+CF and the only problems that I ran into were invalidation and permissions on the bucket. It is likely a result of my lack of knowledge of S3 bucket/CF utilities, but I've been using s3cmd for sync.

Definitely impressed with how quickly it went. I muddled through setting up AWS DNS, S3 and CF through a bunch of blog articles. But it was well worth the time investment.



Ran in to similar issues. Not sure if you saw my article, but the forked version of s3cmd I mention handles invalidation excellently.

I'll definitely take a look.

Likely I'll just wrote a post on my experiences as well once everything is said and done. I haven't had the time over the holiday to figure out the AWS bucket policy. But my overall plan is to have node-webkit shim that has a markdown editor for editing posts.

It should be relatively easy and would be a complete win for me blog post wise. Especially since my "drafts" would be in S3 themselves.
