A global company is reviewing how AWS edge services can improve the experience of users far from its hosting Region. Which TWO statements correctly describe a benefit that an AWS edge service provides? (Select TWO.)
- AAmazon CloudFront caches copies of content at edge locations so nearby viewers receive it with lower latency. Correct
- BAWS Global Accelerator routes traffic over the AWS network to the nearest healthy Region using fixed static IP addresses. Correct
- CAmazon CloudFront removes the need for multiple Availability Zones because the edge network itself provides high availability.
- DAWS Global Accelerator stores application objects durably at the edge so they survive without an origin Region.
- EAmazon CloudFront encrypts the application's database records at rest within each edge location automatically.
Why A is correct: CloudFront is a content delivery network that serves cached copies from edge locations close to viewers, which is its core latency benefit.
Why B is correct: Global Accelerator sends user traffic onto the AWS backbone toward the closest healthy endpoint and offers static anycast IPs, improving performance and failover.
Why C is wrong: Edge caching speeds delivery but does not protect the origin tiers, so multiple Availability Zones are still needed for high availability.
Why D is wrong: Durable object storage is the role of Amazon S3, not Global Accelerator, which directs network traffic rather than holding stored data.
Why E is wrong: Encrypting stored database data is handled by services such as AWS KMS with the database, not by CloudFront, which caches and delivers web content.
