AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 — Topic 1 Question 335

Question

An online magazine will launch its latest edition this month. This edition will be the first to be distributed globally. The magazine's dynamic website currently uses an Application Load Balancer in front of the web tier, a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances for web and application servers, and Amazon Aurora MySQL. Portions of the website include static content and almost all traffic is read-only. The magazine is expecting a significant spike in internet traffic when the new edition is launched. Optimal performance is a top priority for the week following the launch. Which combination of steps should a solutions architect take to reduce system response times for a global audience? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D, E. The correct answer is D, E. Option D: Use an Aurora global database for physical cross-Region replication. Use Amazon S3 with cross-Region replication for static content and resources. Deploy the web and application tiers in Regions across the world. Option E: Introduce Amazon Route 53 with latency-based routing and Amazon CloudFront distributions. Ensure the web and application tiers are each in Auto Scaling groups. Auto Scaling adjusts capacity automatically to match demand, improving availability and cost efficiency. S3 Cross-Region Replication asynchronously copies objects to another Region for compliance or latency. Amazon S3 provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed. This option decouples the components so they scale independently and absorb load spikes.
