cloudfront

Hello,

I want to publish a web site on Amazon's servers, that:

Runs CakePHP
Uses MySQL to store data
Lets users upload audio through flash (currently using a hosted Flash Media Server), and listen to the files later

Do I need Amazon's EC2 for the website, RDS for the MySQL database, and CloudFront for the FMS?

Thanks.
