CLF-C01 Exam - Question 64


A manufacturing company has a critical application that runs at a remote site that has a slow internet connection. The company wants to migrate the workload to

AWS. The application is sensitive to latency and interruptions in connectivity. The company wants a solution that can host this application with minimum latency.

Which AWS service or feature should the company use to meet these requirements?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

The best option for the company is AWS Outposts. This service extends AWS infrastructure and services to on-premises locations, providing the benefit of AWS services while addressing concerns of latency and connectivity interruptions. It is specifically designed for scenarios where low latency and local data processing are critical, which fits the company's requirement of hosting a latency-sensitive application at a remote site with a slow internet connection. AWS Local Zones, Wavelength, and Availability Zones do not provide the same level of local hardware and hybrid integration that Outposts offers for minimizing latency in this context.

Should be B > Local Zone Outpost > AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools to customer premises. So app will still be on the clients premises But client wants to migrate the workload to AWS and asking for a solution that host their app with minimum latency. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/localzones/features/#:~:text=AWS%20Local%20Zones%20are%20a,millisecond%20latency%20to%20end%2Dusers. AWS Local Zones are a type of AWS infrastructure deployment that place compute, storage, database, and other select services closer to large population, industry, and IT centers, enabling you to deliver applications that require single-digit millisecond latency to end-users.

Outpost is the “best” answer. Why? Even if you have an available local zone (assumption), customer is still limited due to slow internet connectivity. If the internet is single threaded, then the app will have a low availability if hosted in the cloud.

Q: Who should use AWS Local Zones? You should use AWS Local Zones to deploy workloads closer to your end-users for low-latency requirements. AWS Local Zones have their own connection to the internet and support AWS Direct Connect, so resources created in the Local Zone can serve local end-users with very low-latency communications.So B

I would go for D With AWS Outposts, you can run some AWS services locally and connect to a broad range of services available in the local AWS Region. Run applications and workloads on premises using familiar AWS services, tools, and APIs. Outposts supports workloads and devices requiring low latency access to on-premises systems, local data processing, data residency, and application migration with local system interdependencies.

based on this low internet connnection at the remote site, answer is AWS Local Zone (B) AWS Outposts is designed to operate with a constant and consistent connection between your Outpost and an AWS Region. To achieve this connection to the Region, and to the local workloads in your on-premises environment, you must connect your Outpost to your on-premises network. Your on-premises network must provide wide area network (WAN) access back to the Region and to the internet. *It must also provide LAN or WAN access to the local network where your on-premises workloads or applications reside.* https://docs.aws.amazon.com/outposts/latest/userguide/how-outposts-works.html while AWS Local Zones have their own connection to the internet and support AWS Direct Connect, so resources created in the Local Zone can serve local end-users with very low-latency communications. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/localzones/faqs/

B According to AWS website, outposts can be chosen when the data center is near and as the question states "remote site" I would stick with Local Zone - "You must work across teams within your organization to make sure that the latency requirements (low single millisecond latency within a metro for Local Zones vs the ultra-low latency of Outposts when deployed close to or within your datacenter), data reseidency needs, installation prerequisites, and availability of services to support your workload are met."

The AI replied the following: C. AWS Wavelength To meet the requirements of hosting a critical application with minimum latency, particularly in scenarios where the application is sensitive to latency and interruptions in connectivity, the company should use AWS Wavelength. AWS Wavelength brings AWS services to the edge of the 5G network, enabling developers to build applications that require ultra-low latency and high bandwidth. It places compute and storage resources closer to the user's location, reducing the round-trip time for data to travel between the user's device and the application's infrastructure

If they migrate the application to AWS, then the part of slow internet access doesn't matter. So we need to assume that the application stays there with the slow internet connection. Also,, Local zones won't help the slow internet connection. So it's Outposts.

AWS Outposts enables native AWS services, infrastructure, and operating models in on-premises facilities. In AWS Outposts environments, you can use the same AWS APIs, tools, and infrastructure that you use in the AWS Cloud. Amazon ECS on AWS Outposts is ideal for low-latency workloads that need to be run in close proximity to on-premises data and applications.

B. AWS Local Zones AWS Local Zones is a service that allows you to run certain services closer to your users and customers, which can reduce latency and improve performance. With Local Zones, you can place select AWS services in locations that are closer to your on-premises infrastructure, remote offices, and field operations. This service is ideal for use cases such as running applications with low-latency data processing and storage requirements, or deploying services that need to be co-located with other data center equipment. In this scenario, company should use Local Zones to reduce latency and minimize interruptions in connectivity for their critical application.

B is the answer.

roeekoOption: D
Jan 21, 2023

The correct answer is D. AWS Outposts. AWS Outposts is an extension of AWS services that allows you to run AWS infrastructure on-premises. It provides the same AWS APIs, tools, and infrastructure that is available in the AWS regions, but runs in your own data center or on-premises environment. This allows the company to run their critical application with minimal latency, as the data and compute resources are located physically close to the remote site. With Outposts, the company can reduce the latency and also eliminate the risk of connectivity interruptions. AWS Local Zones is also a service that allows you to run AWS infrastructure on-premises, but it is not available yet. Availability Zones is a feature that provides multiple, physically separate locations within an AWS region, but it does not provide the same level of low latency as Outposts since the resources are not located on-premises. AWS Wavelength is a service that allows you to deploy AWS services on-premises, but it's focus on 5G mobile edge computing, it's not the best solution for this scenario

roeekoOption: B
Jan 21, 2023

B. AWS Local Zones AWS Local Zones are designed to bring the power of AWS to select geographic locations closer to users and customers, providing low-latency access to services. This service allows customers to run compute and storage resources in an on-premises environment, while still using the same APIs and management tools as the rest of their AWS infrastructure. This could be a good solution for a manufacturing company that wants to host a critical application with minimal latency.

AWS Local Zones are extension of an AWS Region, providing low-latency access to AWS services in geographic proximity to customer data centers. Local Zones are typically located within 100 km of a parent region, and provide a subset of AWS services for customers who require single-digit millisecond latencies. AWS Local Zones are designed for customers who require low-latency access to specific AWS services, but do not need to run their entire application on-premises.

et_learnerOption: D
Mar 14, 2023

please see the geo location of local zones https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/localzones/locations so D is correct as the question mentioned 'application that runs at a remote site that has a slow internet connection'

JamesKMOption: D
Mar 15, 2023

I think the confusing part here is that the question mentions that the remote site has a slow internet connection which causes most people to select option B, (AWS Local Zones) but in effect what you are doing here is making the situation worse as although you moving the workload to a highly available and low-latency platform on AWS the remote site will still struggle as its internet is still slow and now the workload is even further off than it was before; as having an application on-prem/on-site will always offer better latency than having it in the cloud, so AWS Local Zones does not work. As for AWS Outpost; this is a better solution as the latency from the office to the workload is not impacted as the workload will still be running onsite all be it on AWS infra, and you also achieve the objective of the question by "hosting the workload in AWS, on Outpost and keeping latency low by keeping the workload on-prem"

norris81Option: B
Mar 16, 2023

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/outposts/latest/server-userguide/region-connectivity.html For an optimal experience and resiliency, AWS recommends that you use redundant connectivity of at least 500 Mbps (1 Gbps is better) for the service link connection to the AWS Region. You can use AWS Direct Connect or an internet connection for the service link. Outpost servers support a lower minimum. For more information, see Service link traffic for servers. Outpost servers support a minimum requirement for uplink speed to the Region that is lower than bandwidth recommendations: 20 Mbps Is 20MBps slow ?

nesmiertnasOption: D
Mar 20, 2023

Based on the documentation the correct answer is D as Outposts would work best with slow internet connection because AWS services would be on premise. Local Zones require good internet speed as it uses DirectConnet to achieve low latency. In this case key point is slow internet connection at the site. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/aws-local-zones-and-aws-outposts-choosing-the-right-technology-for-your-edge-workload/

Guru4CloudOption: C
Apr 3, 2023

It is C. Here's why AWS Wavelength is designed specifically to reduce the latency between devices and applications hosted on AWS by placing AWS compute and storage services at the edge of the 5G network. This means that the application can be hosted closer to the user or device, which reduces the time it takes for data to travel between the application and the user or device. By reducing latency, AWS Wavelength provides a more responsive user experience for latency-sensitive applications. In this scenario, the manufacturing company has a critical application that is sensitive to latency and interruptions in connectivity. Hosting the application on AWS Wavelength would ensure that the application is hosted closer to the user or device, reducing the time it takes for data to travel between the application and the user or device. This would help to minimize latency and interruptions in connectivity, which is critical for the performance of the application.

BieLeyOption: D
Apr 23, 2023

Considering the sensitivity of the critical application to latency and interruptions in connectivity, AWS Outposts would likely be the better choice in this scenario, as it allows the company to host the application locally in their remote site and minimize reliance on the slow internet connection, thereby reducing potential performance issues.

pedrolaezOption: C
May 22, 2023

AWS Wavelength is an AWS service that provides ultra-low latency connectivity between applications hosted on AWS and end users' mobile devices. It brings AWS compute resources closer to the edge of telecommunication service providers' points of presence (PoPs). This enables applications to benefit from reduced latency and improved user experience, particularly for latency-sensitive applications, such as in the case of the manufacturing company. By leveraging AWS Wavelength, the company can deploy its application in a Wavelength Zone located near the remote site, minimizing the latency between the application and end users. This enhances application performance and responsiveness while reducing connectivity interruptions. The other options mentioned, such as Availability Zones (option A), AWS Local Zones (option B), and AWS Outposts (option D), also offer solutions for extending the AWS network, but they are not specifically designed to address the requirements of minimum latency in the context of latency-sensitive applications.

GulsahOption: B
Jul 16, 2023

Answer is correct. (B) To meet the requirements of hosting the critical application with minimum latency, the company should use AWS Local Zones. AWS Local Zones are an extension of an AWS region and are geographically closer to end users compared to the primary AWS region. They are designed to provide lower latency and higher performance for specific workloads and applications. By deploying the application in an AWS Local Zone, the company can reduce the latency between the users and the application, as the application will be hosted in a data center closer to the end users. In this scenario, since the remote site has a slow internet connection, using an AWS Local Zone would allow the company to benefit from reduced latency while maintaining proximity to their current location. This can result in improved performance and reduced interruptions in connectivity for the sensitive application. Therefore, the correct answer is B. AWS Local Zones.

To host a critical application with minimum latency and sensitivity to interruptions in connectivity, the company should consider using: B. AWS Local Zones AWS Local Zones provide a low-latency option for deploying applications that require single-digit millisecond latencies to end-users. They are a part of AWS's infrastructure and are typically located in or near major metropolitan areas, allowing you to place your workloads closer to your end-users. This can help reduce latency and improve the application's responsiveness. While AWS Wavelength and AWS Outposts offer low-latency options, AWS Local Zones are designed to provide the low-latency performance needed for applications sensitive to latency and interruptions in connectivity. Availability Zones are also a part of AWS infrastructure, but they may not provide the same low-latency performance as Local Zones when you have specific requirements for proximity to end-users.

rankocertifiedOption: D
Nov 18, 2023

I vote D:. B is not correct in my opinion: AWS Local Zones are a type of infrastructure deployment that places compute, storage, database, and other select AWS services close to large population and industry centers.

D The question asks for the lowest possible latency, keeping that in mind Outposts is better than Local Zone because AWS sets up a set of applications in *clients data center itself*. (company sets up Starbucks on campus) And in case of Local Zones, AWS sets up its own small data center (with limited services) in a locality where there are a number of corporate customers.

This is a very interesting question. My choice would be AWS outpost as it offers hosting on premises application with very low latency with AWS provided hardware. So the infrastructure remains on premise but the workload runs on AWS.
