File storage with S3

Any frontend assets need a filesystem as a home. In this case, the natural choice is AWS Simple Storage Service (S3), which is Amazon's high durability object storage service. S3 advertises 99.999999999% durability, so it's safe to say our files will be available when we need them. While it's possible to serve content from S3 as a website on a custom domain, it's not the best choice for this scenario. AWS CloudFront will aid us in distributing files to end users quickly and efficiently.
