AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
An e-commerce company is expecting a significant spike in users accessing product images during an upcoming promotional event. They need a storage service that can serve these images with low latency at scale to enhance customer experience. Which of the following AWS services is the BEST choice to meet these requirements?
Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) with Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) volumes attached to EC2 instances serving the images
Amazon EFS with provisioned throughput configured to serve files directly to users
Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) mounted on high-memory EC2 instances
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) with an Amazon CloudFront distribution
Amazon S3 with Amazon CloudFront is the best choice for serving content at scale with low latency. S3 provides durable storage and easy scalability for storing product images, while CloudFront, a content delivery network (CDN), caches the images close to the users at edge locations, thus reducing latency when accessing these assets during high traffic events. Amazon EBS is not designed for serving static content directly to users and does not integrate with a CDN. Amazon EFS is tailored for file system use cases and not optimized for delivering static content over the internet. Amazon EFS when connected to one or more EC2 instances could potentially handle large workloads, but it is not the most efficient choice when directly serving content at scale to many users compared to using Amazon S3 with CloudFront.
