CCP AWS Global Infrastructure 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is an AWS Region?
- A single data center used by AWS
- A geographic area containing multiple, isolated Availability Zones (Correct answer)
- A group of edge locations used for content delivery
- A virtual network within AWS
Correct answer: A geographic area containing multiple, isolated Availability Zones
An AWS Region is a physical location around the world where AWS clusters multiple data centers (Availability Zones) to provide redundancy and low latency.
Question 2: What is an AWS Availability Zone (AZ)?
- A single server in an AWS data center
- One or more discrete data centers with redundant power, networking, and connectivity within a Region (Correct answer)
- A global content delivery network node
- A virtual private cloud subnet
Correct answer: One or more discrete data centers with redundant power, networking, and connectivity within a Region
An Availability Zone is one or more physically separate data centers within a Region, designed for fault isolation from other AZs.
Question 3: What is the minimum number of Availability Zones in each AWS Region?
- 1
- 2
- 3 (Correct answer)
- 4
Correct answer: 3
Each AWS Region has a minimum of three Availability Zones to support high availability and fault-tolerant architectures.
Question 4: What are AWS Edge Locations primarily used for?
- Running EC2 instances closer to users
- Delivering cached content to users with low latency via Amazon CloudFront (Correct answer)
- Hosting RDS databases near end users
- Providing direct connections to AWS from on-premises networks
Correct answer: Delivering cached content to users with low latency via Amazon CloudFront
AWS Edge Locations are part of the global CloudFront CDN network that caches content closer to end users to reduce latency.
Question 5: Which AWS service allows you to run AWS infrastructure and services in your own on-premises data center?
- AWS Local Zones
- AWS Wavelength
- AWS Outposts (Correct answer)
- AWS Direct Connect
Correct answer: AWS Outposts
AWS Outposts brings native AWS services, infrastructure, and operating models to virtually any data center or on-premises facility.
Question 6: Which AWS feature allows you to deploy AWS compute and storage resources closer to large population centers for single-digit millisecond latency?
- AWS Outposts
- AWS Local Zones (Correct answer)
- AWS Wavelength
- AWS Direct Connect
Correct answer: AWS Local Zones
AWS Local Zones place AWS compute, storage, and database services closer to large metropolitan areas to deliver low-latency applications.
