AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 404

A company needs to host an application in a specific geographic area to comply with regulations.

Which feature of the AWS global infrastructure will help the company meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Scalability
• B. Global footprint
• C. Availability
• D. Performance

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS's global footprint, which includes a vast network of Regions and Availability Zones worldwide, allows organizations to select specific geographic locations to deploy their services and satisfy local data sovereignty laws. Other characteristics like scalability, availability, and performance address resource adjustment, uptime, and speed, but do not inherently resolve geographic compliance requirements.
