AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 102

A company is operating several factories where it builds products. The company needs the ability to process data, store data, and run applications with local system interdependencies that require low latency.
Which AWS service should the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS IoT Greengrass
• B. AWS Lambda
• C. AWS Outposts
• D. AWS Snowball Edge

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Outposts is designed to provide a consistent hybrid cloud experience by running AWS services locally on-premises, which is ideal for applications needing low latency. AWS IoT Greengrass is more focused on edge computing for IoT devices, AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that may not meet local system interdependencies, and AWS Snowball Edge is intended for data transfer and edge computing but not as a primary solution for ongoing applications.
