AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 511

Which component of the AWS global infrastructure does Amazon CloudFront use to speed up the delivery of content to users across the world?

Answer options

• A. Amazon VPC
• B. Edge location
• C. Local Zone
• D. AWS Outposts connection

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Amazon CloudFront utilizes a global network of Edge locations to cache content closer to end-users, significantly reducing latency and speeding up delivery. Other infrastructure components like Amazon VPC, Local Zones, and AWS Outposts are designed for private networking, localized compute workloads, and on-premises hybrid deployments respectively, rather than global content caching.
