Question

A company is worried about potential DDoS attacks. The company has a web application that runs on Amazon EC2 instances. The application uses Amazon S3 to serve static content such as images and videos. A security engineer must create a resilient architecture that can withstand DDoS attacks. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Put the EC2 instances into an Auto Scaling group behind an Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) load balancer. Use Amazon CioudFront with Amazon S3 as an origin. Auto Scaling adjusts capacity automatically to match demand, improving availability and cost efficiency. Amazon EC2 provides resizable virtual servers when you need full control of the operating system. Amazon S3 provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
