AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 122

A company manages global applications that require static IP addresses.
Which AWS service would enable the company to improve the availability and performance of its applications?

Answer options

• A. Amazon CloudFront
• B. AWS Global Accelerator
• C. Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration
• D. Amazon API Gateway

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Global Accelerator is designed specifically to improve the availability and performance of applications by providing static IP addresses that route traffic to optimal endpoints. In contrast, Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network, Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration focuses on speeding up uploads to S3, and Amazon API Gateway is used for creating and managing APIs, none of which offer the static IP feature that enhances global applications in the same way.
