B. AWS Global Accelerator AWS Global Accelerator uses edge locations to improve the availability and performance of applications by routing traffic through the AWS global network infrastructure to the nearest edge location. This helps reduce latency and improve application responsiveness for users around the world. The other options do not primarily utilize edge locations in the same way: A. Amazon Aurora is a relational database service. C. Amazon Connect is a cloud-based contact center service. D. AWS Outposts is a service that brings AWS infrastructure to on-premises data centers.

Correct answer is B, Global Accelerator. AWS Global Accelerator allows you to route requests for key resources through Amazon’s global network—even if the request is going halfway round the world. The request is initially routed to the closest edge location and then travels through Amazon’s network—often with lower latency and higher throughput than the public internet. https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/what-is-an-edge-location-in-aws-a-simple-explanation/

D. AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that allows you to run compute and storage on-premises, while connecting to the rest of the AWS services in the cloud. It does not use edge locations. The correct answer is B, AWS Global Accelerator. AWS Global Accelerator is a service that routes traffic over the AWS global network to the optimal AWS Region for each user. It uses a network of edge locations around the world to deliver low-latency content to users. AWS Global Accelerator can be used to improve the performance of applications by routing traffic to the nearest edge location, reducing the time it takes for content to reach the user.

AWS Global Accelerator is a networking service that improves the availability and performance of applications with global users. It uses the AWS global network infrastructure and leverages edge locations to accelerate the delivery of content and applications. Edge locations are small, distributed data centers strategically located around the world. They are part of the AWS global network and are used to cache and deliver content closer to end-users, reducing latency and improving the user experience. These edge locations are deployed in major cities and regions worldwide.

D is not connect.. What is an outpost in AWS? An Outpost is a pool of AWS compute and storage capacity deployed at a customer site. AWS operates, monitors, and manages this capacity as part of an AWS Region. You can create subnets on your Outpost and specify them when you create AWS resources such as EC2 instances, EBS volumes, ECS clusters, and RDS instances.

Correct answer is B. An "Edge Location" is an object within the 'AWS Global Infrastructure' framework (regions, availability zones, edge location). "AWS Global Accelerator" connects directly to edge locations. 'AWS Outposts' are basically physical servers AWS maintains (physical server and the software it runs). Not other aspects such as power, communications, cooling, physical security, etc... https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/

AWS Global Accelerator helps bridge the gap between single and multiple Region deployments by improving the network routing for local and global user traffic. If traffic to your application’s single Region is left on the public internet, it can be negatively impacted by internet congestion and local outages. Using Global Accelerator, your users' traffic is moved off the internet and onto Amazon’s private global network through 90+ global edge locations, then directed to your application origins. AWS Global Accelerator is quick to setup and increases traffic performance by up to 60%.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/latest/dg/introduction-how-it-works.html The AWS service that uses edge locations is B. AWS Global Accelerator is a service that improves the availability and performance of applications for global users. It utilizes the AWS global network to route traffic through edge locations that are strategically located around the world. These edge locations act as points of presence (PoPs) and help reduce latency and improve throughput for end users. When using AWS Global Accelerator, traffic from users is directed to the nearest edge location, which then routes the traffic to the application endpoint. This helps optimize the delivery of the application's content and improves the user experience. Therefore, the correct answer is B. AWS Global Accelerator.

B. AWS Global Accelerator "AWS Global Accelerator and Amazon CloudFront are separate services that use the AWS global network and its edge locations around the world. CloudFront improves performance for both cacheable content (such as images and videos) and dynamic content (such as API acceleration and dynamic site delivery). Global Accelerator improves performance for a wide range of applications over TCP or UDP by proxying packets at the edge to applications running in one or more AWS Regions.
