AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 32

Which of the following describes AWS Local Zones?

Answer options

• A. A cluster of data centers in one geographic location
• B. A site used by Amazon CloudFront to cache frequently accessed content
• C. An extension of an AWS Region to more granular locations
• D. One or more data centers with redundant power and networking

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because AWS Local Zones extend the capabilities of AWS Regions to specific geographic areas, allowing for lower latency and closer proximity to end-users. Options A and D describe general data center characteristics rather than the specific concept of Local Zones, while B pertains to Amazon CloudFront, which is unrelated to Local Zones.
