AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 225

A company runs a static website through its on-premises data center. The company has multiple servers that handle all of its traffic, but on busy days, services are interrupted and the website becomes unavailable. The company wants to expand its presence globally and plans to triple its website traffic.
What should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Migrate the website content to Amazon S3 and host the website on Amazon CloudFront.
• B. Migrate the website content to Amazon EC2 instances with public Elastic IP addresses in multiple AWS Regions.
• C. Migrate the website content to Amazon EC2 instances and vertically scale as the load increases.
• D. Use Amazon Route 53 to distribute the loads across multiple Amazon CloudFront distributions for each AWS Region that exists globally.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Amazon S3 provides a highly scalable and durable storage solution for static website content, while Amazon CloudFront offers a content delivery network that enhances performance and availability globally. The other options either do not address the scalability needs effectively or require more management overhead, which does not meet the company's goal of expanding efficiently.
