You can set up CloudFront with origin failover for scenarios that require high availability. To get started, you create an origin group with two origins: a primary and a secondary. If the primary origin is unavailable, or returns specific HTTP response status codes that indicate a failure, CloudFront automatically switches to the secondary origin. So the right answer is C.

When he uses the word "optimize", I understand that the HA structure is already created. He wants to optimize, improve the user experience. So the correct answer is "A".

dude, what are you smoking :D where did you see there was already HA implemented: "leveraging Amazon CloudFront with an Amazon EC2 instance attached as its origin" AN instance - single instance

I agree, Answer is C. Please see quote and link: “You can set up CloudFront with origin failover for scenarios that require high availability. To get started, you create an origin group with two origins: a primary and a secondary. If the primary origin is unavailable, or returns specific HTTP response status codes that indicate a failure, CloudFront automatically switches to the secondary origin.” https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/high_availability_origin_failover.html

Answer is C. Lambda@Edge reduces latency but does not help with availability

HA was mentioned in AWS: Just upload your code to AWS Lambda, which takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability at an AWS location closest to your end user. https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/edge/

in the question text is: ..."'The company wants to store and accelerate the delivery of static content to its users by leveraging Amazon CloudFront with an Amazon EC2 instance attached as its origin." Lambda helps you with everything, but you need to use Ec2 not run code in lambda. Question is, how to secure the HA in solution with EC2. Then I vote for "C". Or maybe I understand that question wrong.

Its saying "optimize" which means you can rearrange or rewrite the solution. As an architect to OPTIMIZE the solution choosing Lamda Edge will take care of everything and you don't need to manually add other instances for failover. "A" is the correct answer.

You are thinking outside of the box here. The requirement is very clear here - "The firm wishes to store and speed the delivery of static material to its consumers via the usage of Amazon CloudFront and an Amazon EC2 instance as the origin." The firm wishes to use EC2, not lambda.

Lambda Edge cannot cover HA. We only have one EC2 instance. Question is twisted, focus only on what is asked - HA

The answer is A, because as the floowing: Lambda@Edge is a feature of Amazon CloudFront that lets you run code closer to users of your application, which improves performance and reduces latency. With Lambda@Edge, you don't have to provision or manage infrastructure in multiple locations around the world. Hence A is correct.

to implement "lambda Lambda@Edge for CloudFront" you must have one more EC2 instance. Check out this graph and analyze. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/es_es/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/high_availability_origin_failover.html#concept_origin_groups.creating -----> at the end you find the design to use source failover with Lambda@Edge functions

Can Lambda that has a max 15min execution time for each invocation be used to host a full website? I still believe Lambda@Edge is to address latency by performing some content filtering and not hosting the entire website. I opt for answer C for HA.

Answer is C. The decision to host on EC2 has been already been made (probably by someone in management). However, if you want to have HA (which is the only thing being requested), you need another EC2 instance in another AZ. Yes, you could do this other ways, and probably better, but the solution they are asking for is very specific enhancement to what is already in place.

Answer is A . Lambda@Edge --> scale your code with high availability https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/faqs/ if we replace Ec2 with Lambda@Edge . Then HA comes from Lambda@Edge wishes to store -> Lambda@Edge // speed the delivery -> CloudFront
