A global non-profit organization is launching a public safety alert portal. The organization has two key requirements: first, static emergency documents must be distributed to users worldwide with the lowest possible latency; second, the primary application servers must be deployed in a configuration that ensures continuous operation even if an entire data center facility goes offline. Which two of the following AWS Global Infrastructure components should the organization use to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
- AWS Edge Locations to cache static alert documents close to global viewersAnswer
- Multiple Availability Zones to deploy redundant application servers within a RegionAnswer
- CA single AWS Region to synchronously replicate database transactions globally
- DA single Availability Zone containing multiple Edge Locations to host the application
- EAWS Local Zones to host the primary database for synchronous, low-latency global replication
Answer
The organization should use AWS Edge Locations to cache static alert documents close to global viewers, and multiple Availability Zones to deploy redundant application servers within a Region.
The correct options identify the proper mapping of requirements to AWS infrastructure components. Static content delivery with low latency is solved using AWS Edge Locations, which cache data closer to global users. High availability and protection against single points of failure (such as an entire data center going offline) is solved by distributing compute resources across multiple Availability Zones within an AWS Region.
