AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 147

A company runs a website from Sydney, Australia. Users in the United States (US) and Europe are reporting that images and videos are taking a long time to load. However, local testing in Australia indicates no performance issues. The website has a large amount of static content in the form of images and videos that are stored in Amazon S3.

Which solution will result in the MOST improvement in the user experience for users in the US and Europe?

Answer options

• A. Configure AWS PrivateLink for Amazon S3.
• B. Configure S3 Transfer Acceleration.
• C. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution. Distribute the static content to the CloudFront edge locations.
• D. Create an Amazon API Gateway API in each AWS Region. Cache the content locally.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating an Amazon CloudFront distribution allows the static content to be cached at edge locations closer to users in the US and Europe, significantly speeding up load times. Options A and B do not provide the same level of improvement for global users, and option D would require more complexity and does not directly address the static content delivery issue.
