AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 101

Which AWS service supports a hybrid architecture that gives users the ability to extend AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to data centers, co-location environments, or on-premises facilities?

Answer options

• A. AWS Snowmobile
• B. AWS Local Zones
• C. AWS Outposts
• D. AWS Fargate

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Outposts is designed specifically for hybrid cloud environments, allowing users to run AWS services on-premises. AWS Snowmobile is a data transfer service, AWS Local Zones provide low-latency access to AWS resources in specific geographic areas, and AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers, which does not extend infrastructure to on-premises setups.
