AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 697

A company wants to run its application on Amazon EC2 instances. The company needs to keep the application on-premises to meet a compliance requirement.

Which AWS offering will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Dedicated Instances
• B. Amazon CloudFront
• C. AWS Fargate
• D. AWS Outposts

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS Outposts allows organizations to run AWS infrastructure and services, including Amazon EC2, directly on-premises to satisfy local compliance and latency requirements. Dedicated Instances run on hardware dedicated to a single customer but are still hosted in the AWS public cloud. AWS Fargate is a serverless container engine, and Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network, neither of which addresses the requirement to host EC2 instances on-premises.
