Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The global infrastructure of AWS, with Regions and Availability Zones, allows customers to deploy applications and resources closer to their users. This reduces latency, improves performance, and provides a better user experience for global audiences. While other services such as Global Accelerator and Direct Connect may complement performance, they do not provide the ability to deploy resources globally to address latency directly.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect: AWS Global Accelerator improves performance for global users by routing traffic to the nearest endpoint, but it does not directly address deploying applications closer to users.
- B. Correct.
Correct: AWS’s global infrastructure, specifically Regions and Availability Zones, allows resources like applications to be deployed closer to end-users, reducing latency and improving performance.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: AWS Elastic Load Balancing distributes traffic within a specific Region or application, but it does not solve latency issues caused by global distances.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: AWS Direct Connect provides dedicated network connections but is not a solution for deploying applications closer to users globally.
