AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02)Cloud ConceptsMedium
A global company needs to deploy a new application that will serve customers in North America, Europe, and Asia. They want to minimize latency for all users and ensure data residency compliance for specific regions. Which AWS cloud benefit is most relevant to achieving these goals?
- AAgility
- BElasticity
- CHigh Availability
- DGlobal Reach
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Global Reach
AWS's Global Reach, with its extensive network of Regions and Availability Zones, allows companies to deploy applications close to their users worldwide, minimizing latency and addressing data residency requirements.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Agility is the ability to rapidly develop and deploy applications, not directly related to global presence.
- B. Elasticity is the ability to automatically scale resources up or down, not directly about geographic distribution.
- C. High Availability focuses on keeping applications running within a single region, not global distribution.
Global Reach
The ability to deploy applications and data across multiple AWS Regions and Availability Zones worldwide, enabling low-latency access and compliance with data residency requirements.
- AWS has a vast global infrastructure.
- Allows deployment close to end-users for reduced latency.
- Facilitates meeting data residency and compliance needs.
Memory trick: Global cloud, local speed, secure data.
