AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 354

Which statement describes a characteristic of the AWS global infrastructure?

Answer options

• A. Edge locations contain multiple AWS Regions
• B. AWS Regions contain multiple Regional edge caches
• C. Availability Zones contain multiple data centers
• D. Each data center contains multiple edge locations

Correct answer: C

Explanation

An Availability Zone (AZ) is composed of one or more physical data centers equipped with redundant power, networking, and connectivity. Conversely, edge locations are distinct endpoints used by Amazon CloudFront to cache content and do not contain AWS Regions. Regional edge caches and edge locations are part of the CloudFront content delivery network rather than being structured inside individual data centers or containing Regions.
