Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
AWS's global infrastructure is designed to meet the needs of global businesses by enabling low-latency, high-availability applications. Regions and Edge Locations play a key role in achieving these benefits. Regions allow customers to deploy applications closer to their users, while Edge Locations are essential for delivering content with minimal latency through services like Amazon CloudFront. Availability Zones and Outposts serve other purposes and are not directly related to global reach or latency improvements.
- A. Correct.
Correct: AWS Regions enable companies to deploy applications in geographically diverse locations, allowing them to serve customers closer to where they are located, which reduces latency.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While AWS Availability Zones enhance fault tolerance within a region, they do not directly address global low latency and global reach requirements.
- C. Correct.
Correct: AWS Edge Locations are part of the AWS global infrastructure and support content delivery services like Amazon CloudFront, ensuring low latency for end users globally.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: AWS Outposts provide AWS infrastructure on-premises, but they are not directly related to the global infrastructure benefits such as speed of deployment or global reach.
