AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 43

A company wants to deploy some of its resources in the AWS Cloud. To meet regulatory requirements, the data must remain local and on premises. There must be low latency between AWS and the company resources.
Which AWS service or feature can be used to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Local Zones
• B. Availability Zones
• C. AWS Outposts
• D. AWS Wavelength Zones

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Outposts is the correct answer because it allows for AWS services to be run on-premises, ensuring data compliance while keeping latency low. AWS Local Zones and Availability Zones do not fulfill the requirement of local data residency, while AWS Wavelength Zones are designed for ultra-low latency applications at the edge, not on-premises solutions.
