AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 472

A company wants to use AWS. The company has stringent requirements about low-latency access to on-premises systems and data residency.

Which AWS service should the company use to design a solution that meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Wavelength
• B. AWS Transit Gateway
• C. AWS Ground Station
• D. AWS Outposts

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS Outposts allows organizations to run AWS infrastructure and services on-premises, satisfying strict data residency regulations and providing single-digit millisecond latency to local systems. AWS Wavelength is designed for mobile edge computing on 5G networks, AWS Transit Gateway connects VPCs and on-premises networks, and AWS Ground Station controls satellite communications, making none of them suitable for local hybrid cloud deployments with data residency constraints.
