How to setup Cloudflare on AWS hosted website?

I'm currently using AWS EC2, S3 and RDS for my website, and all the media is stored in S3.

If I would like to use Cloudflare for the entire website, should I just install regularly (where it will 'pull' and cache everything) or I should do this step or do both?

Though you can achieve this through Amazon CloudFront Servies which offers the same functionality as that of Cloudflare and you do not need to configure additional things. But it does not specializes only on CDN. So You can safely use Cloudflare as they are specialized in Web Security.

And it is always recommended to follow the guidelines Cloudflare setup.

Edit: In addition to Cloudfront, if you wish you may also use AWS WAF & AWS Shield for security for the same reason you wish to use cloudflare.
