ANS-C01 Question 6
Select 2Your company is launching a globally distributed application that serves dynamic content to users. The application needs to ensure low latency for users worldwide while efficiently managing traffic. You are tasked with designing a solution that incorporates AWS edge network services. Which combination of services should you use to optimize user performance and traffic management?
- A
Amazon CloudFront for content delivery and AWS Global Accelerator for traffic management
- B
Amazon CloudFront for dynamic content delivery and Route 53 latency-based routing for traffic management
- C
AWS Global Accelerator for traffic management and Amazon S3 for caching dynamic content
- D
Amazon CloudFront for caching static content and AWS Direct Connect for low-latency user connections
- E
AWS Global Accelerator for traffic management and AWS App Mesh for content delivery optimization
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
To optimize global user performance and traffic management, combining Amazon CloudFront for content delivery and services like AWS Global Accelerator or Route 53 for traffic routing is the most effective approach. CloudFront reduces latency by caching content at edge locations, while Global Accelerator and Route 53 latency-based routing ensure traffic is directed to the nearest or most performant AWS region. Other options like S3 or Direct Connect do not align with the requirements of edge services or global traffic management.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Amazon CloudFront is an AWS edge service designed for low-latency content delivery, while AWS Global Accelerator improves traffic management by routing requests to the nearest AWS region based on network performance.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Amazon CloudFront can handle dynamic content delivery with low latency, and Route 53's latency-based routing allows traffic to be routed to the nearest region with the best latency for users.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While AWS Global Accelerator can manage traffic, Amazon S3 is not suitable for caching dynamic content, as it is primarily used for static object storage.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Amazon CloudFront is used for caching static content, but AWS Direct Connect is not an edge service and does not optimize traffic or user performance for global architectures.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. AWS Global Accelerator does manage traffic effectively, but AWS App Mesh is a service mesh for microservices and is not a solution for content delivery optimization.
