Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 894 discussion

Answer A Based on https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/getting-started-secure-static-website-cloudformation-template.html Amazon CloudFront: Uses the durable storage of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) – This solution creates an Amazon S3 bucket to host your static website’s content. To update your website, just upload your new files to the S3 bucket.

I don't think anyone has mentioned it, but cloudfront helps reduce costs. If you want to use ElastiCache, it is possible but incredibly difficult, the question asks to reduce costs and cloudfront is cheaper than ElastiCache.

A vs B -> A. Because Elsticache is for DB, not for S3.

A. but questions should specify it is static or dynamic website

Why??? Guys, you'll fail the others. Don't troll or believe everything chatgpt says... 😕 The question indicates "The website serves static content", why would you use elasticache for it? It may work, but it'll take a helluva effort. S3 and CloudFront is straightforward and simple. Not only that, it also works great for static content. It's AWS's cdn. It can also serve dynamic content, but that's out of scope for this question. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/getting-started-secure-static-website-cloudformation-template.html

S3 bucket is correct, so it's between A or B. B because cache to handle when traffic increase.

website serves static content So we need to ElastiCache when traffic increases , no need for cloudfront

A. Move the website to an Amazon S3 bucket. Configure an Amazon CloudFront distribution for the S3 bucket.

S3 for static contents, and ElastiCache for traffic increasing. No need for cloudfront cuz there is no need for global deliver for the website

static content -> S3
