AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 227

A company is designing a website that uses an Amazon S3 bucket to store static images. The company wants all future requests to have faster response times while reducing both latency and cost.
Which service configuration should a solutions architect recommend?

Answer options

• A. Deploy a NAT server in front of Amazon S3.
• B. Deploy Amazon CloudFront in front of Amazon S3.
• C. Deploy a Network Load Balancer in front of Amazon S3.
• D. Configure Auto Scaling to automatically adjust the capacity of the website.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that caches content at edge locations, providing faster access to static images stored in Amazon S3. Option A is incorrect because a NAT server does not enhance performance for static content delivery. Option C is not suitable since a Network Load Balancer is designed for distributing traffic rather than caching content. Option D does not address the need for faster response times and is more focused on scaling than on reducing latency and cost.
