Cloudfront Quiz
A company has an application that delivers objects from S3 to users. Of late, some users spread across the globe have been complaining of slow response times. Which of the following additional steps would help in building a cost-effective solution and also help ensure that the users get an optimal response to objects from S3?
A. UseS3 Replication to replicate the objects to regions closest to the users.
B. EnsureS3 Transfer Acceleration is enabled to ensure all users get the desiredresponse times.
C. Placean ELB in front of S3 to distribute the load across S3.
D. Place the S3 bucket behind a CloudFront distribution.
D. Place the S3 bucket behind a CloudFront distribution.
AWS Documentation mentions the following:
If your workload is mainly sending GET requests, in addition to the preceding guidelines, you should consider using Amazon CloudFront for performance optimization.
Integrating Amazon CloudFront with Amazon S3, you can distribute content to your users with low latency and a high data transfer rate. You will also send fewer direct requests to Amazon S3, which will reduce your costs.
For example, suppose that you have a few objects that are very popular. Amazon CloudFront fetches those objects from Amazon S3 and caches them. Amazon CloudFront can then serve future requests for the objects from its cache, reducing the number of GET requests it sends to Amazon S3.
