Q913. A company hosts a website on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The website serves static content. Website traffic is increasing. The company wants to minimize the website hosting costs.Which solution will meet these requirements?

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

Explanation

To minimize website hosting costs while serving static content and handling increasing traffic, the most suitable solution is:A. Move the website to an Amazon S3 bucket. Configure an Amazon CloudFront distribution for the S3 bucket.Amazon S3 provides a highly scalable and cost-effective storage solution for hosting static websites. By moving the website to an S3 bucket, the company can take advantage of its durability, availability, and low-cost storage.Configuring an Amazon CloudFront distribution for the S3 bucket further enhances performance and reduces latency by caching content at edge locations worldwide. CloudFront acts as a content delivery network (CDN), delivering the static content from the nearest edge location to the end users, resulting in faster load times and reduced data transfer costs.Option B suggests moving the website to an Amazon S3 bucket but configuring an Amazon ElastiCache cluster. ElastiCache is used for caching frequently accessed data and is not designed for hosting static websites. This option does not address the requirement of minimizing hosting costs for the website.Options C and D suggest moving the website to AWS Amplify, which is a platform for building and deploying web applications. While Amplify can host static websites, it may introduce additional complexities and costs compared to directly using Amazon S3 and CloudFront for hosting and content delivery.In summary, option A, moving the website to an Amazon S3 bucket and configuring an Amazon CloudFront distribution, is the most appropriate solution for minimizing hosting costs while efficiently serving static content and handling increasing website traffic.
