AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) — Question 159

Organizers for a global event want to put daily reports online as static HTML pages. The pages are expected to generate millions of views from users around the world. The files are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. A solutions architect has been asked to design an efficient and effective solution.

Which action should the solutions architect take to accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. Generate presigned URLs for the files.
• B. Use cross-Region replication to all Regions.
• C. Use the geoproximity feature of Amazon Route 53.
• D. Use Amazon CloudFront with the S3 bucket as its origin.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as Amazon CloudFront can distribute content globally with low latency and high transfer speeds, making it ideal for handling millions of views. Options A and B do not enhance performance for a global audience, and option C does not directly address the need for efficient content delivery.
