AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 49

A company hosts its product information webpages on AWS. The existing solution uses multiple Amazon C2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer in an
Auto Scaling group. The website also uses a custom DNS name and communicates with HTTPS only using a dedicated SSL certificate. The company is planning a new product launch and wants to be sure that users from around the world have the best possible experience on the new website.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Redesign the application to use Amazon CloudFront.
• B. Redesign the application to use AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
• C. Redesign the application to use a Network Load Balancer.
• D. Redesign the application to use Amazon S3 static website hosting.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that caches content at edge locations globally, significantly improving load times for users everywhere. The other options, while they may enhance some aspects of the application, do not specifically address the need for global distribution and performance optimization that CloudFront provides.
