AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 312

In Amazon CloudFront, while creating a web distribution, which of the following can be used as origin servers?

Answer options

• A. Any combination AWS Glacier archives and Oracle server
• B. Any combination of Amazon DB intances and XML servers
• C. Any combination of Amazon S3 buckets and HTTP servers
• D. Any combination of Amazon Data Insights and PHP servers

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon CloudFront supports Amazon S3 buckets and custom HTTP servers (such as Amazon EC2 instances or on-premises web servers) as origins for web distributions. Databases, AWS Glacier archives, and raw application servers without an HTTP/S interface cannot be targeted directly as CloudFront origins. Thus, only a combination of S3 buckets and HTTP servers is valid.
