We have the /images directory, and with the new "variations" instead of options we are going to have a huge amount of images and our server space is going to have to be looked at.
BUT i also now use CDN (cloudfront) but how does this reduce my server space or does it not? does it just reduce load on the server serving the images.
eg, I upload all my images to /images/
I assume they still need to stay in /images even though they are served from cloudfront? so where does the server space saving come from

Hello!
As you have correctly stated, CDN only speeds up distribution of the static content, since CDN makes this content available from the locations that are closer to the customer, rather than directly from your server.
