Difficulty: MediumAWS Global Infrastructure

A retail company is launching a new e-commerce platform on AWS. The company has two key requirements:
1. It must cache popular product images and media files closer to users worldwide to reduce latency.
2. It must deploy its database instances across multiple isolated locations within a geographic area to protect against a single data center outage.

Which of the following AWS infrastructure components should the company use to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

  1. AWS Edge LocationsAnswer
  2. Availability ZonesAnswer
  3. C
    AWS Regions
  4. D
    AWS Local Zones
  5. E
    AWS Outposts

Answer

AWS Edge Locations and Availability Zones
AWS Edge Locations cache media files and product images near users worldwide to lower latency. Availability Zones are isolated locations within a geographic Region, allowing databases to be deployed in a highly available configuration that survives the failure of a single data center facility.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the first requirement for global low-latency content delivery.
Identify AWS Edge Locations as the correct global infrastructure component that caches static files closer to users worldwide.
AWS Edge Locations are the endpoints used by Amazon CloudFront to distribute content globally with low latency.
2
Analyze the second requirement for highly available databases within a geographic area to survive data center outages.
Identify Availability Zones as the correct global infrastructure component.
Availability Zones are physically separated and isolated locations within an AWS Region, connected via low-latency links, making them ideal for high availability.
