Question

Difficulty: EasyAWS Global Infrastructure

A media streaming company wants to run single-digit millisecond latency-sensitive applications for users in a specific metropolitan area, while also caching video content globally. Which two AWS Global Infrastructure components should the company use to meet these requirements?

  1. AWS Local Zones to run application workloads close to end-users in the specific metropolitan areaAnswer
  2. AWS Edge Locations to cache video content globally using Amazon CloudFrontAnswer
  3. C
    AWS Outposts to automatically cache global video content at public internet service providers (ISPs)
  4. D
    AWS Regions to deploy compute resources directly inside the end-users' local offices
  5. E
    Availability Zones to act as local caches distributed inside metropolitan residential areas

Answer

AWS Local Zones and AWS Edge Locations
AWS Local Zones allow running latency-sensitive application workloads close to end-users in specific metropolitan areas. AWS Edge Locations cache video content globally via Amazon CloudFront, reducing latency for media retrieval.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the service component needed for single-digit millisecond latency in specific metropolitan areas.
AWS Local Zones
AWS Local Zones are specifically designed to place compute and storage closer to end-users in major metropolitan areas.
2
Identify the infrastructure component required for global video content caching.
AWS Edge Locations
AWS Edge Locations serve as local caching points for Amazon CloudFront to deliver content globally with low latency.
