AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 123

A company has global users accessing an application deployed in different AWS Regions, exposing public static IP addresses. The users are experiencing poor performance when accessing the application over the internet.
What should a solutions architect recommend to reduce internet latency?

Answer options

• A. Set up AWS Global Accelerator and add endpoints.
• B. Set up AWS Direct Connect locations in multiple Regions.
• C. Set up an Amazon CloudFront distribution to access an application.
• D. Set up an Amazon Route 53 geoproximity routing policy to route traffic.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as AWS Global Accelerator optimizes the path to the application, improving performance for global users. Option B, AWS Direct Connect, is more suitable for private connections rather than internet latency reduction. Option C, Amazon CloudFront, is a valid option for content delivery but may not specifically address latency issues in the same way as Global Accelerator. Option D, Amazon Route 53 geoproximity routing, helps in traffic management but does not enhance the connection quality itself.
