AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 397
A company needs to run a workload that requires low-latency access to an on-premises data center. The company wants a fully managed service to extend its existing VPC to local resources.
Which AWS service or resource should the company use?
Answer options
- A. AWS Outposts
- B. Amazon Connect
- C. AWS Snowball Edge
- D. Amazon WorkLink
Correct answer: A
Explanation
AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools to virtually any on-premises data center or co-location space, providing the required low-latency access to local resources. In contrast, AWS Snowball Edge is intended for data migration and edge computing in disconnected environments, while Amazon Connect is a cloud-based contact center and Amazon WorkLink is a mobile workforce tool.
