You'd choose CloudFront when you need to distribute frequently accessed, dynamic content across a global network to minimize latency for users. Examples include streaming video, interactive web applications, and high-traffic websites. Cloudflare R2 is typically chosen for storing large files like images, videos, backups, or data archives where cost and high performance are crucial, and the content isn't necessarily accessed very frequently.
