Question

Difficulty: MediumAWS Global Infrastructure

A multi-national logistics provider is launching a tracking application. The architecture must satisfy two distinct requirements:

1. Static assets (such as tracking portal images and stylesheets) must be cached and delivered with sub-millisecond latency to customers globally.
2. The core transactional database containing customer shipment records must be kept within a specific geographic area to comply with local data sovereignty regulations.

Which combination of AWS infrastructure components best addresses these requirements?

  1. A
    AWS Regions for caching static assets, and Availability Zones for database data sovereignty.
  2. B
    Availability Zones for caching static assets, and Edge Locations for database data sovereignty.
  3. Edge Locations for caching static assets, and a specific AWS Region for database data sovereignty.Answer
  4. D
    Edge Locations for caching static assets, and Amazon EBS volumes for database data sovereignty.

Answer

Edge Locations for caching static assets, and a specific AWS Region for database data sovereignty.
Edge Locations are used to cache static assets close to end-users, ensuring sub-millisecond delivery latency. AWS Regions are independent geographic areas, and deploying resources in a specific Region guarantees that data remains in that Region, satisfying data sovereignty requirements.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the AWS infrastructure component designed for global low-latency content delivery.
Edge Locations are identified, as they cache content closer to end-users.
To satisfy the requirement of serving static assets globally with minimum latency.
2
Identify the AWS infrastructure component designed to restrict data storage to a specific geographic boundary.
AWS Regions are identified, as data stored in a Region does not leave that Region unless explicitly copied.
To satisfy the data sovereignty compliance requirement for customer shipment records.

Key Concept

AWS Global Infrastructure components (Regions and Edge Locations) and their distinct use cases for data residency and latency optimization.
