AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
A learning platform is hosted in a single AWS Region. An Application Load Balancer (ALB) serves HTTPS API requests, and large video files are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Students on other continents complain about slow page loads and long video start-up times. The operations team can modify only AWS networking and content-distribution services; no changes to application code or hosting stack are allowed. Which solution will provide the greatest global latency improvement with the least ongoing operational effort and cost?
Create a single Amazon CloudFront distribution that uses the ALB for API paths and the S3 bucket for video paths, then direct the application's DNS record to the distribution.
Deploy new ALBs and S3 buckets in additional Regions and place them behind Route 53 latency-based routing records.
Configure AWS Global Accelerator with endpoints pointing to the ALB and S3 bucket, and update the platform's DNS to the accelerator's DNS name.
Add an Amazon ElastiCache Global Datastore cluster and serve API responses and videos from the cache in each AWS Region.
Amazon CloudFront can use multiple origins, so the ALB can serve dynamic API traffic while the S3 bucket serves video files. CloudFront's global edge network and regional edge caches shorten round-trip time for viewers and cache large objects, significantly improving performance without requiring additional regional infrastructure. Route 53 latency-based routing would need new regional deployments, increasing cost and complexity. AWS Global Accelerator cannot front an S3 bucket because supported endpoints are ALB, NLB, EC2 instances, and Elastic IPs; it would therefore accelerate only the API traffic. ElastiCache Global Datastore is not a content-distribution service and would not help with video delivery or HTTPS APIs. Therefore, creating a CloudFront distribution with the ALB and S3 bucket as origins is the optimal choice.
