Design High-Performing Architectures Practice Question

Question

For a containerized service, an architect is reviewing CloudFront requirement set 14. Which design choice best fits the requirement while following AWS architectural best practices?

Answer choices

1. A. Place all components on a single large instance to simplify troubleshooting.
2. B. Cache content at edge locations and protect origins with origin access controls.
3. C. Use long-lived access keys in application configuration so services can call AWS APIs directly.
4. D. Disable monitoring until the workload reaches steady production traffic.

Correct Answer

B. Cache content at edge locations and protect origins with origin access controls.

Explanation

The best answer applies CloudFront: cache content at edge locations and protect origins with origin access controls. The other options increase operational risk, weaken security, or remove observability that an AWS Solutions Architect should preserve.
