AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 692

A company has deployed several public applications behind Application Load Balancers. The company wants to improve the performance of the applications.

Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Global Accelerator improves the performance of internet-facing applications by routing user traffic over the AWS global network infrastructure, which minimizes latency and jitter for resources behind Application Load Balancers. Amazon ElastiCache is an in-memory data store used for caching database queries rather than optimizing global network routing. Amazon Connect is a cloud contact center service, and Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring and observability tool, neither of which directly optimizes application traffic delivery.
