AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 246

A company wants to deploy some of its resources in the AWS Cloud. To meet regulatory requirements, the data must remain local and on premises. There must be low latency between AWS and the company resources.

Which AWS service or feature can be used to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Local Zones
• B. Availability Zones
• C. AWS Outposts
• D. AWS Wavelength Zones

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is AWS Outposts because it allows you to run AWS services on-premises while providing low latency and local data processing. AWS Local Zones and Availability Zones are more about extending cloud services rather than providing on-premises solutions, whereas AWS Wavelength Zones are designed for edge computing with mobile networks, which does not align with the requirement for local data storage.
