Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
Amazon CloudFront and AWS Global Accelerator together provide a robust solution for the e-commerce company’s requirements. CloudFront ensures secure and low-latency delivery of static and dynamic content, while Global Accelerator routes user requests to the closest available endpoint for improved performance and failover. Other options either do not address low-latency delivery or are not relevant to the use case.
- A. Correct.
Amazon CloudFront is a globally distributed content delivery network (CDN) that securely delivers both static and dynamic content to users with low latency. It is ideal for improving performance and security when delivering web content.
- B. Correct.
AWS Global Accelerator improves global application availability and performance by routing user requests to the nearest healthy endpoint using the AWS global network. It also provides automatic failover capabilities to ensure high availability.
- C. Incorrect.
Amazon Route 53 is a DNS web service that helps route end-user requests based on routing policies. However, it does not directly improve low-latency access or offer content delivery features.
- D. Incorrect.
Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration speeds up file uploads to S3 buckets using AWS edge locations but is not designed for serving web applications or improving failover.
- E. Incorrect.
AWS Direct Connect establishes a dedicated private network connection between on-premises environments and AWS. It is not used for content delivery or failover across global endpoints.
