A company’s website provides users with downloadable historical performance reports. The website needs a solution that will scale to meet the company’s website demands globally. The solution should be cost-effective, limit the provisioning of infrastructure resources, and provide the fastest possible response time.
Which combination should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?
To meet the requirements of a scalable, cost-effective solution with the fastest response times globally, the combination of Amazon CloudFront and Amazon S3 is ideal. Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network that leverages a global network of edge locations to cache and deliver content quickly to users from the nearest location, reducing latency. Amazon S3 provides a highly scalable storage solution for the historical performance reports. This setup minimizes the need for provisioning extensive infrastructure, ensuring low costs while offering quick download speeds.
Historical reports = Static content = S3
A is the correct answer The solution should be cost-effective, limit the provisioning of infrastructure resources, and provide the fastest possible response time.
Global, cost-effective, serverless, low latency = CloudFront with S3 Static content = S3
By using CloudFront, the website can leverage the global network of edge locations to cache and deliver the performance reports to users from the nearest edge location, reducing latency and providing fast response times. Amazon S3 serves as the origin for the files, where the reports are stored. Option B is incorrect because AWS Lambda and Amazon DynamoDB are not the most suitable services for serving downloadable files and meeting the website demands globally. Option C is incorrect because using an Application Load Balancer with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling may require more infrastructure provisioning and management compared to the CloudFront and S3 combination. Additionally, it may not provide the same level of global scalability and fast response times as CloudFront. Option D is incorrect because while Amazon Route 53 is a global DNS service, it alone does not provide the caching and content delivery capabilities required for serving the downloadable reports. Internal Application Load Balancers do not address the global scalability and caching requirements specified in the scenario.
Very good explanations!
The correct answer is Option A. To meet the requirements, the solutions architect should recommend using Amazon CloudFront and Amazon S3. By combining Amazon CloudFront and Amazon S3, the solutions architect can provide a scalable and cost-effective solution that limits the provisioning of infrastructure resources and provides the fastest possible response time. https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/ https://aws.amazon.com/s3/

Historical reports = Static content = S3
Bringing content closer to users, Answer is A
I think the answer is B
No ;) Both cannot store the reports nor provide them for download.
load balancing + scalability + cost effective
Why use EC2 instances to serve historical report files? Those belong in S3. No need to run in VM to let users download static content.
A is correct
A is the best and most cost effective option if only download of the static pre-created report(no data processing before downloading) is a requirement.
A is correct
A. S3 is designed to optimize storage costs, is highly scalable and can hold static content e.g. a website. CloudFront is designed to securely deliver content with low latency and high transfer speeds.
