• C. Deploy a Network Load Balancer in front of Amazon S3.
• D. Configure Auto Scaling to automatically adjust the capacity of the website.

Correct Answer: B. Deploy Amazon CloudFront in front of Amazon S3.

Explanation

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service that can significantly improve the performance and user experience by caching the static content at edge locations worldwide. By deploying CloudFront in front of Amazon S3, the static images stored in the S3 bucket can be cached and delivered from the nearest edge location to the end users, reducing latency and improving response times. CloudFront also helps in cost optimization as it minimizes the number of requests made directly to the S3 bucket, thereby reducing data transfer costs. Additionally, CloudFront provides features like intelligent caching, compression, and content optimization techniques that further enhance the performance of the website.
