AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 645

A company needs to run some of its workloads on premises to comply with regulatory guidelines. The company wants to use the AWS Cloud to run workloads that are not required to be on premises. The company also wants to be able to use the same API calls for the on-premises workloads and the cloud workloads.

Which AWS service or feature should the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Dedicated Hosts
• B. AWS Outposts
• C. Availability Zones
• D. AWS Wavelength

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Outposts allows organizations to run AWS infrastructure and services on-premises for a truly consistent hybrid experience, using the same APIs, tools, and hardware as in the AWS Cloud. Dedicated Hosts and Availability Zones do not extend AWS infrastructure to a customer's physical on-premises data center. AWS Wavelength is designed to deliver ultra-low latency applications for mobile devices and end-users within 5G networks, rather than general on-premises hybrid deployments.
