CLF-C02 practice question: Global infrastructure (2 of 2)
Cloud Technology and Services A free question from our original CLF-C02 practice exam. Try it, then open the answer to see why each option is right or wrong.
A games studio has players concentrated in a large city that is far from the nearest AWS Region. It wants to run its game servers on AWS-operated infrastructure close to that city to give players lower latency, without installing or managing any hardware itself. Which option should it choose?
Choose one answer.
- AA. AWS Outposts
- BB. A second Availability Zone in the nearest Region
- CC. Amazon CloudFront edge locations
- DD. AWS Local Zones
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: D
- A. Wrong: Outposts are AWS-managed racks or servers installed in the customer's own premises. The studio does not want to host hardware.
- B. Wrong: Availability Zones sit inside the Region, so adding one does not bring compute any closer to the distant city.
- C. Wrong: Edge locations cache content for delivery. They do not run the studio's game servers.
- D. Right: Correct. Local Zones place compute, storage and other services close to large population centres for low-latency uses such as real-time gaming.
Explanation
AWS offers several ways to bring infrastructure closer to users. Local Zones are AWS-operated locations near large population and industry centres, used for low-latency applications such as real-time gaming and live streaming. Outposts bring AWS infrastructure into the customer's own data centre, and Wavelength Zones sit inside telecom providers' 5G networks.
