My question is when each of these two platforms are appropriate solutions.

My understanding is that to stream private videos securely, I need to use CloudFront over top of S3 to make rtmp available.

However, I read at the following URL that Cloudfront can have a 24 hour update refresh delay:
http://www.bucketexplorer.com/documentation/cloudfront--amazon-s3-vs-amazon-cloudfront.html

Since my main goal is to stream news videos securely, I don't want time lags between updates and deliveries. Will Cloudfront be a problem because of this delay factor?

Is S3 usable alone for my goal of secure streaming of private video content? (I don't want video files ending up in browser caches.)

Thanks.

1. You should use CloudFront if you want to do secure streaming.
2. 24 hours is a default delay when you refresh the content on CloudFront. You can reduce it to 1 hours by applying cache-control http header. Also, you should consider it only if you want to replace the file with the same name. If you post new content it gets available almost immediately

Thanks
