Difficulty: EasyAWS Storage Services

A marketing agency needs to store millions of graphic design files that will be accessed directly by public users via HTTP and HTTPS web links. Which AWS storage service is best suited to host these static assets?

  1. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)Answer
  2. B
    Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
  3. C
    Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
  4. D
    Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval

Answer

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is correct because it is an object storage service designed to store and serve files over the internet using native HTTP/HTTPS endpoints. This capability makes it the ideal choice for hosting public static assets.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the core storage requirement: hosting static design files that must be directly accessible from the public internet via HTTP/HTTPS links.
Filter out block and file storage services that do not natively support public HTTP/HTTPS endpoints.
Amazon EBS and Amazon EFS are mountable file/block systems that require compute instances (like EC2) to serve traffic to the internet.
2
Compare object storage options based on latency and access speed.
Select Amazon S3 over Amazon S3 Glacier.
Amazon S3 Glacier has retrieval delays of minutes to hours, making it unsuitable for immediate public web access.
