A parks department publishes static trail maps that visitors download worldwide. Which AWS capability best speeds delivery of that cached content?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Static maps love living at the edge—CloudFront edge locations stash copies close to hikers so they are not hauling every download from a far Region. That is the performance win for cached park maps. One lonely EC2 box or a tape shelf back home will not feel fast for a global audience.
Full Explanation
Amazon CloudFront uses a global network of edge locations to cache and serve content closer to end users, reducing latency for static assets such as trail maps. This edge caching complements origin storage in a Region rather than replacing application architecture for dynamic systems. On-premises tape and single distant origins do not provide the same global delivery benefit. Security practices such as HTTPS remain recommended and are not traded away for speed.
