SAP-C02 Question 190
Select 3Your company operates a globally distributed e-commerce platform that serves customers in multiple countries. To ensure low latency and high availability, you need to deploy the application across multiple AWS regions. However, your legal team has specified that user data from European customers must not leave the European Union (EU). Which combination of AWS Global Infrastructure features can help you design a compliant and resilient solution?
- A
Deploy resources across multiple Availability Zones within an AWS Region in the EU.
- B
Use AWS Local Zones to ensure data compliance within the EU.
- C
Enable Amazon S3 Cross-Region Replication to replicate data between EU and non-EU regions.
- D
Use AWS Regions located within the EU to isolate and process EU customer data.
- E
Implement AWS CloudFront with an origin located in an EU AWS Region to serve content globally.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D, E
Explanation
To meet the requirements of low latency, high availability, and compliance with EU data protection laws, you should use AWS Regions and Availability Zones located within the EU to process and store EU customer data. Additionally, using AWS CloudFront allows you to serve content globally while keeping the origin data in the EU. AWS services like Local Zones and S3 Cross-Region Replication are not suitable for this scenario because they either do not address compliance or might transfer data out of the EU.
- A. Correct.
Deploying resources across multiple Availability Zones within an AWS Region in the EU provides high availability and ensures data remains within the EU. This aligns with the legal requirement.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS Local Zones are designed for ultra-low latency by bringing AWS infrastructure closer to end-users, but they are not relevant to ensuring data compliance within the EU as they are not available globally, including in all EU regions.
- C. Incorrect.
Amazon S3 Cross-Region Replication replicates data across regions, which could violate the legal requirement to keep European customer data within the EU.
- D. Correct.
Using AWS Regions located within the EU (e.g., Frankfurt, Ireland) ensures that EU customer data is processed and stored within the EU, meeting compliance requirements.
- E. Correct.
AWS CloudFront with an origin in an EU AWS Region enables global content delivery while ensuring the origin data remains in the EU, meeting both latency and compliance requirements.
