It is possible to write a Silverlight client that understands Adobe's RTMP protocol if you really need it, but for non-live streaming to a Silverlight player i recommend IIS with smooth streaming on the origin server(s). The media chunks are delivered through HTTP so any CDN will do.
I wish they would enable some sort of HTTPS support on CloudFront. It's a major pain to have an image or file on CloudFront and try to serve it on a secure page. IE throws up a security warning and people run away.
HTTPS can be done by falling back to the original S3 bucket address, but still, a major pain in the ass.
For United States Edge Locations it is $0.17 per outbound GB for the first 10TB. So using between 0MB and 1024MB will cost you $0.17. Use 1025-2048MB and you will be charged $0.34.
One thing that isn't apparent to me is if these new Cloudfront features support Live streaming. Does anyone know if Live Streaming is supported, and how one would go about implementing?
All I can see from initial docs and tutorials is that you upload static flash content.

AWS says that it can currently support stored, on-demand media now but will support the streaming of live events sometime in 2010.
