AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
An online media platform experiences slow content delivery when accessed by users located on a different continent from where the platform's servers are hosted. How can a Solutions Architect optimize content delivery for these international users?
Upscale the compute capacity of the origin servers to improve response times for global requests.
Implement Amazon CloudFront to cache and deliver content from edge locations closest to the international audience.
Use Amazon ElastiCache to cache data within the application's current region to enhance content retrieval speeds.
Deploy additional load balancers in strategic locations to better handle incoming traffic from overseas users.
Amazon CloudFront is the service designed to reduce latency by caching content in edge locations around the world. When users request content, it is served from the nearest edge location, speeding up the delivery. Upgrading server capacity does not address the core issue of geographical distance. While load balancers improve the distribution of traffic across resources, they are typically used within a particular region rather than globally. ElastiCache improves the performance of data retrieval within the system but won't be as effective for global content delivery as a CDN, which also provides caching but at the edge, closer to international users.
