SAP-C02 Question 479
Single answerYour organization is planning to deploy a globally distributed application that requires low latency access for users in different regions. The application must comply with regional data residency laws and ensure high availability. Which feature of AWS Global Infrastructure should you leverage to meet these requirements?
- A
AWS Regions and Availability Zones
- B
AWS Local Zones
- C
AWS Edge Locations
- D
AWS Wavelength Zones
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To meet the requirements of a globally distributed application with low latency, compliance with data residency laws, and high availability, the best choice is to use AWS Regions and Availability Zones. Regions enable geographic control over data and applications to meet compliance needs, while Availability Zones within a region provide redundancy and fault tolerance. Other options like Local Zones, Edge Locations, and Wavelength Zones serve more specific use cases and do not comprehensively address the scenario's requirements.
- A. Correct.
AWS Regions and Availability Zones are fundamental components of AWS Global Infrastructure. Regions allow you to deploy resources in specific geographic areas to comply with data residency laws, and Availability Zones ensure high availability and fault tolerance within a region.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS Local Zones provide low-latency access for specific metropolitan areas but are not designed to handle global distribution or comply with regional data residency laws.
- C. Incorrect.
AWS Edge Locations are primarily used for content delivery via Amazon CloudFront and do not support data residency or application hosting requirements.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS Wavelength Zones are designed for ultra-low latency use cases for 5G networks and are not suitable for globally distributed applications requiring compliance with data residency laws.
