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
- A. AWS Global Accelerator
- B. Amazon Connect
- C. Amazon ElastiCache
- D. Amazon CloudWatch
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.
