AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 234
A company needs a content delivery network that provides secure delivery of data, videos, applications, and APIs to users globally with low latency and high transfer speeds.
Which AWS service meets these requirements?
Answer options
- A. Amazon CloudFront
- B. Elastic Load Balancing
- C. Amazon S3
- D. Amazon Elastic Transcoder
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Amazon CloudFront is specifically designed as a content delivery network (CDN) that ensures secure and efficient distribution of content to users globally, thus meeting the low latency and high speed requirements. Elastic Load Balancing is focused on distributing incoming application traffic across multiple targets and does not function as a CDN. Amazon S3 is primarily a storage service and does not provide the CDN capabilities required. Amazon Elastic Transcoder is used for media transcoding and does not deliver content.
