AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 810

A company needs to run some of its workloads on premises to comply with regulatory guidelines. The company wants to use the AWS Cloud to run workloads that are not required to be on premises. The company also wants to be able to use the same API calls for the on-premises workloads and the cloud workloads.

Which AWS service or feature should the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Dedicated Hosts
• B. AWS Outposts
• C. Availability Zones
• D. AWS Wavelength

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Outposts delivers AWS services, infrastructure, and operating models to virtually any on-premises facility, allowing the use of the same APIs across both environments. Dedicated Hosts are physical servers in the AWS cloud and do not support local on-premises deployments. Availability Zones are isolated locations within AWS Regions, and AWS Wavelength is optimized for mobile edge computing, making neither suitable for this hybrid requirement.
