AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 628

A solutions architect needs to design a low-latency solution for a static single-page application accessed by users utilizing a custom domain name. The solution must be serverless, encrypted in transit, and cost-effective.
Which combination of AWS services and features should the solutions architect use? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Amazon S3
• B. Amazon EC2
• C. AWS Fargate
• D. Amazon CloudFront
• E. Elastic Load Balancer

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Amazon S3 offers a highly durable, serverless, and cost-effective object storage service ideal for hosting the static assets of a single-page application. Amazon CloudFront integrates seamlessly with S3 to deliver these assets globally with low latency, while also supporting custom SSL/TLS certificates for in-transit encryption on custom domains. Alternative compute options like Amazon EC2, AWS Fargate, and Elastic Load Balancers are not serverless storage solutions and would introduce unnecessary complexity and higher costs.
