Question

Difficulty: MediumAWS Global Infrastructure

An organization is designing a web application on AWS that requires high availability and fault tolerance within a single geographic area to survive local data center outages. Additionally, the application serves static media content to a global user base and must minimize latency for these users. Which of the following AWS global infrastructure components should the organization utilize to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

  1. Multiple Availability Zones within a single AWS RegionAnswer
  2. AWS Edge LocationsAnswer
  3. C
    Multiple AWS Regions for active-active database replication
  4. D
    AWS Outposts in local on-premises data centers
  5. E
    AWS Local Zones configured in every target country

Answer

Multiple Availability Zones within a single AWS Region and AWS Edge Locations
Deploying across multiple Availability Zones within a single Region ensures that the application remains highly available and resilient to local data center failures. Utilizing AWS Edge Locations caches static media assets closer to users worldwide, satisfying the requirement for global low-latency content delivery.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the high availability requirement within a single geographic area.
Identify that AWS Availability Zones provide isolated data center locations within a single Region to protect against local outages.
Deploying resources across multiple Availability Zones ensures that if one data center fails, others continue to operate.
2
Analyze the low-latency requirement for global static content delivery.
Identify that AWS Edge Locations cache content close to end-users globally.
Edge Locations work with Amazon CloudFront to store copies of static assets nearer to the users' physical locations, minimizing delivery latency.

Key Concept

AWS Regions, Availability Zones, and Edge Locations serve distinct purposes in high availability and global content delivery.
