Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 38 discussion

Option A (replicating the S3 bucket to all AWS Regions) can be costly and complex, requiring replication of data across multiple Regions and managing synchronization. It may not provide a significant latency improvement compared to the CloudFront solution. Option B (provisioning accelerators in AWS Global Accelerator) can be more expensive as it adds an extra layer of infrastructure (accelerators) and requires associating IP addresses with the S3 bucket. CloudFront already includes global edge locations and provides similar acceleration capabilities. Option D (enabling S3 Transfer Acceleration) can help improve upload speed to the S3 bucket but may not have a significant impact on reducing latency for website visitors. Therefore, option C is the most cost-effective solution as it leverages CloudFront's caching and global distribution capabilities to decrease latency and improve website performance.

Keywords: Global, Reduce latency, S3, Static Website, Cost effective = Amazon CloudFront

Answer is C

Some of these questions seem too easy for SAA. These seem like Cloud Practitioner questions...

Cloudfront is a lovely and affordable CDN for static content.

S3 static website so CloudFront is the best CDN solution for low cost and low latency A: Very expensive way of doing this B: Makes no sense D: Transfer Acc is for upload boosting C: CloudFront literally solves this problem

Answer-C

Option A (replicating the S3 bucket to all AWS Regions) can be costly and complex, requiring replication of data across multiple Regions and managing synchronization. It may not provide a significant latency improvement compared to the CloudFront solution. Option B (provisioning accelerators in AWS Global Accelerator) can be more expensive as it adds an extra layer of infrastructure (accelerators) and requires associating IP addresses with the S3 bucket. CloudFront already includes global edge locations and provides similar acceleration capabilities. Option D (enabling S3 Transfer Acceleration) can help improve upload speed to the S3 bucket but may not have a significant impact on reducing latency for website visitors. Therefore, option C is the most cost-effective solution as it leverages CloudFront's caching and global distribution capabilities to decrease latency and improve website performance.

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service that distributes content globally to reduce latency. By setting up a CloudFront distribution in front of the S3 bucket hosting the static website, you can take advantage of its edge locations around the world to deliver content from the nearest location to the users, reducing the latency they experience. CloudFront automatically caches and replicates content to its edge locations, resulting in faster delivery and lower latency for users worldwide. This solution is highly effective in optimizing performance while keeping costs under control because CloudFront charges are based on actual data transfer and requests, and the pay-as-you-go pricing model ensures that you only pay for what you use.

Keyword "Amazon CloudFront" (C).

Option C is the right answer for this.

Option C is the right answer for this.

key words: -around the world -decrease latency -most cost-effective answer is C

C is the most cost effective.

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that caches content at edge locations around the world, providing low latency and high transfer speeds to users accessing the content. Adding a CloudFront distribution in front of the S3 bucket will cache the static website's content at edge locations around the world, decreasing latency for users accessing the website. This solution is also cost-effective as it only charges for the data transfer and requests made by users accessing the content from the CloudFront edge locations. Additionally, this solution provides scalability and reliability benefits as CloudFront can automatically scale to handle increased demand and provide high availability for the website.

Cloud front

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that speeds up the delivery of static and dynamic web content, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images. It does this by placing cache servers in locations around the world, which store copies of the content and serve it to users from the location that is nearest to them.
