Amazon S3 with Cross-Region Replication
- D
Amazon FSx for Windows File Server
- E
AWS Storage Gateway with File Gateway configuration
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To meet the needs of a global video streaming platform, Amazon S3 is the most appropriate choice due to its scalability, high availability, and low latency. Enabling Transfer Acceleration enhances performance for global users by utilizing AWS edge locations. Additionally, using Cross-Region Replication ensures resilience and high availability by replicating data across AWS regions, which is critical for global content delivery and disaster recovery scenarios.
- A. Correct.
Amazon S3 with Transfer Acceleration is ideal for global content distribution as it uses AWS edge locations to accelerate uploads and downloads, providing low latency and high availability.
- B. Incorrect.
Amazon EFS with provisioned throughput is a good option for shared file systems, but it is not designed for high-performance global content distribution or low-latency delivery to millions of users.
- C. Correct.
Amazon S3 with Cross-Region Replication ensures data is replicated across different regions for high availability and fault tolerance, making it suitable for global reach and disaster recovery.
- D. Incorrect.
Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is designed for Windows-based applications requiring a file system, but it is not optimized for scalable, global content distribution or video streaming at scale.
- E. Incorrect.
AWS Storage Gateway with File Gateway is designed for hybrid cloud storage use cases, such as backing up on-premises data, and is not suitable for global content delivery or high-performance streaming.
