AWS Module 4 Assessment

Which answer BEST describes the purpose and benefits of AWS edge locations?

• Edge locations are composed of physical data centers that host the majority of AWS services and applications.

• Edge locations are intended to provide redundant storage solutions for critical data.

• Edge locations are used exclusively for running compute-intensive applications and databases.

• Edge locations cache content to deliver data with lower latency and higher transfer speeds to end users.

Which answer describes the key features and benefits of AWS CloudFormation?

• With CloudFormation, users can model and set up their AWS resources using code to automate provisioning and the management of infrastructure. This method can help to reduce errors and maintain consistency across environments.

• With CloudFormation, users can cache frequently accessed content. That way, users experience lower latency when accessing cloud resources.

• CloudFormation is a cost-optimization tool that analyzes the AWS usage and recommends the best practices for reducing a company's AWS bills.

• CloudFormation is a service that provides a visual interface for manually configuring each AWS resource one by one, without the need for any code.

Which answer BEST describes the relationship between AWS Regions, Availability Zones, and edge locations?

• AWS Regions contain multiple edge locations, and each edge location can have one or more Availability Zones.

• AWS Regions are physical locations around the world where AWS has multiple Availability Zones. Edge locations are located outside of AWS Regions and cache frequently accessed content.

• AWS Regions, Availability Zones, and edge locations are all the same thing and are used interchangeably.

• AWS Regions are physical locations around the world where AWS has multiple Availability Zones. Each Availability Zone has one or more edge location.

What BEST describes key benefits of using multiple AWS Regions and multiple Availability Zones? (Select TWO.)

• High availability and fault tolerance

• Low latency for end users

• Enhanced security protocol

• Increased storage capacity

• Faster database migration

Which approach is BEST suited for deploying this application according to the needs of automation and consistency?

• Combining console and programmatic approaches for different tiers of the application

• Using the AWS Management Console to manually deploy each component in every Region

• Writing a script to programmatically deploy the application using the cloud provider's API

• Using an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) service such as AWS CloudFormation to deploy the application

Which option lists the factors the organization needs to consider when deciding where to place their cloud resources?

• Software licensing, hardware specifications, cloud skillset of staff, and customer reviews

• Network speed, data encryption, user interface, and storage capacity

• Server uptime, application performance, employee satisfaction, and office location

• Compliance, proximity to customers, feature availability, and pricing
