AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 Exam - Question 176


A media company stores video content in an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. A certain video file has become popular and a large number of users across the world are accessing this content. This has resulted in a cost increase.

Which action will DECREASE cost without compromising user accessibility?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

Storing the video in an Amazon S3 bucket and using Amazon CloudFront for content distribution will decrease costs and improve accessibility. Amazon S3 provides a cost-effective storage solution, while CloudFront, as a Content Delivery Network (CDN), caches content at edge locations globally. This reduces the load on the origin server and improves access speed for users. By serving content from the cache, CloudFront reduces data transfer and storage costs in comparison to using an Amazon EBS volume, which is more suitable for block storage and may become costly for high traffic video content.

Store video in S3 and use Cloudfront for distribution. So option B is correct.

Classic use case for CloudFront. Whenever a question asks about the same data being accessed over and over again, always think caching services like CloudFront and ElastiCache

Not A ..as the issue faced is high costs and not slow performance.. Provisioned IOPS is more costlier..

Pardon me for the question, but changing an EBS to S3, will that not compromise user accessibility? Even if for a brief moment?

No, the cloudfront with edge locations make user accessibility...
