CLF-C02 Question 215
Single answerA company wants to improve the performance and availability of its globally distributed web application. They also want to ensure that their users experience low latency when accessing their content, regardless of their location. Which AWS edge service should they choose to cache and deliver their web application content closer to users?
- A
Amazon CloudFront
- B
AWS Global Accelerator
- C
AWS Direct Connect
- D
Amazon Route 53
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Amazon CloudFront is the ideal choice for caching and delivering web application content closer to users because it is specifically designed as a content delivery network (CDN). It reduces latency and improves the performance of applications by caching content at AWS edge locations globally. While other services such as AWS Global Accelerator and Amazon Route 53 enhance performance in different ways, they do not provide caching or content delivery capabilities.
- A. Correct.
Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that caches and delivers content closer to users, ensuring low latency and high performance. This is the correct choice for the described scenario.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS Global Accelerator improves network performance by routing traffic to the optimal AWS endpoint, but it does not cache content. This makes it unsuitable for delivering web application content closer to users.
- C. Incorrect.
AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection between on-premises environments and AWS but does not address caching or delivering content closer to users.
- D. Incorrect.
Amazon Route 53 is a DNS web service that helps with domain name resolution. It does not offer caching or content delivery capabilities.
