Exam AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner topic 1 question 389 discussion

C at 100% You can't create an EC2 on AZ or on Edge locations....you can create EC2 only on a Region!!! You can use Region near users....

The correct answer is Local Zone (which is not one of the options here). A Local Zone is an extension of an AWS Region in geographic proximity to your users. Local Zones have their own connections to the internet and support AWS Direct Connect, so that resources created in a Local Zone can serve local users with low-latency communications. Ref: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/localzones/

Edge locations and regional edge caches (associated with CloudFront for content delivery) are relevant for content distribution and caching to improve delivery speed, they're not directly related to running EC2 instances in locations near global users. The AWS Region choice impacts the physical location of the instances themselves.

Launch instances in an Availability Zone When you launch an instance, select a Region that puts your instances closer to specific customers, or meets the legal or other requirements that you have. By launching your instances in separate Availability Zones, you can protect your applications from the failure of a single location. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-regions-availability-zones.html

AWS Local Zones are a type of AWS infrastructure deployment that place compute, storage, database, and other select services closer to large population, industry, and IT centers, enabling you to deliver applications that require single-digit millisecond latency to end-users.

AWS Regions is the correct answer. It CANNOT be Edge, as you can't create EC2 inside an Edge.

B should be correct. Edge Locations are 1. Local Zones 2. Wavelength Zones 3. Outposts You can use AWS Local Zones to run various AWS services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, Amazon Elastic Block Store, Amazon FSx, Amazon Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon EMR, Amazon ElastiCache and Amazon Relational Database Service in geographic proximity to your end users, with more services to be added in the future. You can also use On-Demand Capacity Reservation to reserve capacity for your Amazon EC2 instances in a specific Local Zone. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/localzones/features/#:~:text=You%20can%20use%20AWS%20Local,your%20end%20users%2C%20with%20more

C. AWS Regions

Answer is B. Edge Locations

its C, regions

AWS Regions

To run Amazon EC2 instances in locations that are near the company’s global users, you can use Edge locations1 which are endpoints for AWS which are used for caching content2. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Edge locations.

Edge locations are used by Amazon CloudFront for content delivery and do not directly impact the location of EC2 instances. On the other hand, AWS Regions can support the requirement of running EC2 instances in locations that are near the company's global users. AWS Regions are separate geographical areas where AWS services, such as EC2 instances, are available. By choosing an AWS Region that is geographically close to the users, the company can reduce latency and improve performance.

The aspect of the AWS environment that will SUPPORT the requirement of running Amazon EC2 instances in locations that are near the company’s global users is Edge locations.

regions is correct. key is "closjavascript:void(0)e to customers", not close to the company

C is correct
