AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) — Question 141

A company’s website provides users with downloadable historical performance reports. The website needs a solution that will scale to meet the company’s website demands globally. The solution should be cost-effective, limit the provisioning of infrastructure resources, and provide the fastest possible response time.
Which combination should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Amazon CloudFront and Amazon S3
• B. AWS Lambda and Amazon DynamoDB
• C. Application Load Balancer with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling
• D. Amazon Route 53 with internal Application Load Balancers

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, utilizes Amazon CloudFront for content delivery and Amazon S3 for storage, providing a scalable and cost-effective solution with low latency. Option B focuses on serverless architecture, which may not be optimal for serving static reports. Option C requires more infrastructure management and may not scale as efficiently for global demand. Option D involves internal load balancers that are not suited for public-facing content delivery.
