Anything to consider in X3 when setting-up Amazon Cloudfront as CDN?

Hi, as I setup a WAF (web app firewall), I will experiment with Cloudfront as CDN a bit. Any recommendation how to setup the AWS cloudfront distribution for the X3 Photo Gallery? Any specific settings or policies?

Not really. When using a CDN (Settings > Advanced > CDN url), X3 will requests STATIC assets (images) from CDN url (Cloudfront), which in turn initially pulls them from your origin server (before they get cached on the CDN). They can just cache to the max (probably default settings), as that's kinda the point of using a CDN.
