It's pretty straightforward to get django to automatically upload everything to s3 using https://github.com/qnub/django-boto/ I've only used it to server directly from s3, but it sounds like you might want to upload to s3 and then serve from cloudfront. cloudfront uses edge servers to serve content from a nearby location whereas s3 does not. Slightly different configuration is needed to server from cloudfront, but I imagine it's not terribly difficult.
