AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company is expanding its online retail application to accommodate an increasing number of users from different geographical locations. The application is hosted on an Amazon EC2 instance and utilizes an Application Load Balancer (ALB) for distributing incoming traffic. Which of the following network configurations should be undertaken to best scale the network architecture for anticipated global growth?
Establish an AWS Direct Connect connection to improve the application's global network performance.
Increase the Amazon EC2 instance size to improve network and application performance for global users.
Set up an Amazon CloudFront distribution to cache content at edge locations closer to the users.
Configure Amazon Route 53 geo-proximity routing to direct traffic based on the geographic location of the users.
Setting up an Amazon CloudFront distribution in front of the Amazon EC2 instances would cache the content at multiple edge locations across the globe, significantly reducing latency for international users by serving requests from the nearest edge location. This approach effectively scales the network architecture to accommodate a global audience. An additional AWS Direct Connect would establish a private connectivity between on-premises and AWS, which does not inherently address global user latency. Amazon Route 53 geo-proximity routing is more about directing traffic based on geographic location rather than scaling, and increasing the instance size addresses compute scaling but does not directly impact network scaling to accommodate global users.
