Question

Difficulty: MediumAWS Network Services

A company is deploying a global web application. They need to route user traffic to the closest geographical endpoint to minimize latency and cache static content at edge locations worldwide. Which two AWS network and content delivery services should the company use to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

  1. Amazon CloudFrontAnswer
  2. Amazon Route 53Answer
  3. C
    AWS Transit Gateway
  4. D
    VPC Peering
  5. E
    Network Access Control Lists (NACLs)

Answer

Amazon CloudFront and Amazon Route 53
Amazon CloudFront acts as a content delivery network that stores cached copies of static assets closer to users at edge locations, significantly reducing latency. Amazon Route 53 is a DNS service that can direct users dynamically to the nearest application endpoint using latency-based routing policies.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the requirement for caching static content globally to minimize latency.
Amazon CloudFront is selected because it uses a global network of edge locations to cache and deliver content closer to users.
CloudFront is the primary AWS content delivery network service designed for caching.
2
Identify the requirement for routing global traffic based on user location.
Amazon Route 53 is selected because it supports latency-based and geolocation routing policies.
Route 53 is the AWS domain name service capable of intelligent routing to the closest endpoint.

Key Concept

AWS Network and Content Delivery services work together to optimize global user access via DNS routing and edge caching.
