AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 210

A company is hosting its static website in an Amazon S3 bucket, which is the origin for Amazon CloudFront. The company has users in the United States, Canada, and Europe and wants to reduce costs.
What should a solutions architect recommend?

Answer options

• A. Adjust the CloudFront caching time to live (TTL) from the default to a longer timeframe.
• B. Implement CloudFront events with Lambda@Edge to run the website's data processing.
• C. Modify the CloudFront price class to include only the locations of the countries that are served.
• D. Implement a CloudFront Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate to push security closer to the locations of the countries that are served.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because modifying the CloudFront price class to only include the regions where users are located can significantly reduce costs. The other options do not directly address cost reduction; adjusting TTL (A) may improve performance but not necessarily save money, implementing Lambda@Edge (B) could add complexity and cost, and adding an SSL certificate (D) primarily enhances security rather than reducing costs.
