Hi... I have questions. Is it better to use s3 or CloudFront for site performance?

If CloudFront do I have content pulled from my s3 bucket or right from my server?

I was told they work together but I read you can use either one.
Amazon cloudfront pulls the content from your site automatically so you don't have to push anything to it unlike Amazon S3. It's a different implementation altogether.

Ok I understand, so will content still be stored on my server? Trying figure out what's best for me, I would like my site to perform as fast as possible. It almost seems like a personal preference, it's been hard to figure it out.

Yes, if you are using cloudfront, your files are still stored on your server but it will be served via cloudfront instead.
