AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
A global web application is fronted by an Application Load Balancer that currently serves images, JavaScript, and CSS directly from containers. Users see high latency, and the ALB is near capacity. Static files change several times weekly and must propagate within 5 minutes. The operations team needs a cost-effective, low-maintenance way to offload the ALB. Which solution meets these requirements?
Move the static assets to an Amazon S3 bucket, place a CloudFront distribution in front of the bucket with a long TTL, and have marketing publish each update with a new versioned file name.
Deploy an ElastiCache for Redis cluster and modify the application to store and retrieve static assets from Redis to reduce calls to the ALB.
Create a CloudFront distribution that uses the existing Application Load Balancer as the origin, set the default TTL to 0 seconds, and forward all headers and query strings.
Configure a CloudFront distribution with the ALB as origin and add a Lambda function that runs an invalidation for the updated objects each time marketing publishes new content.
Storing static assets in Amazon S3 and serving them through a CloudFront distribution removes the load from the Application Load Balancer and places the content on an edge cache that lowers latency worldwide. By using long TTL values and publishing each new asset with a versioned file name, the team avoids the operational overhead and potential cost of frequent invalidations while ensuring that updates are visible immediately after deployment. Setting a zero-second TTL or forwarding every header would prevent effective caching, and integrating ElastiCache would require code changes and is not designed for binary static files. Relying on Lambda-driven invalidations adds unnecessary complexity and may incur additional charges when updates exceed the free invalidation quota.
