,Cloud Concepts & AWS Global Infrastructure (Q1–Q10)
Q1. A startup wants to deploy an application globally with
minimal latency and no need to manage physical infrastructure.
Which AWS concept best supports this requirement?
A. On-premises virtualization
B. Cloud elasticity
C. Edge computing hardware installation
D. Dedicated private data centers
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Cloud elasticity
Explanation: Cloud elasticity allows automatic scaling of compute
resources across AWS Regions and Availability Zones, reducing
latency and eliminating infrastructure management overhead. On-
premises and private data centers require physical management,
while edge installations are not necessary for global scaling in this
context.
Q2. Which AWS global infrastructure component consists of
isolated locations within a region designed for high availability?
A. Edge locations
B. Availability Zones
C. Regions
D. Direct Connect hubs
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Availability Zones
Explanation: Availability Zones are physically separate data
centers within a region, designed to provide fault tolerance and
high availability. Regions are broader geographic areas, while
edge locations support caching.
Q3. A company wants to reduce latency for users accessing static
content globally. Which AWS service is most appropriate?
A. AWS Lambda
B. Amazon CloudFront
,C. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling
D. Amazon RDS
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Amazon CloudFront
Explanation: CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that
caches content at edge locations globally, minimizing latency.
Other services focus on compute or databases rather than content
delivery.
Q4. What is a key benefit of using AWS cloud services instead of
traditional on-premises infrastructure?
A. Fixed capacity planning
B. Capital expenditure increase
C. Pay-as-you-go pricing
D. Manual hardware provisioning
Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Pay-as-you-go pricing
Explanation: AWS uses a consumption-based pricing model,
allowing customers to pay only for resources used, reducing
upfront capital costs.
Q5. Which statement best describes a Region in AWS?
A. A single physical data center
B. A collection of edge nodes
C. A geographically separate area containing multiple Availability
Zones
D. A networking hub for private connections
Correct Answer: 🔴 C. A geographically separate area containing
multiple Availability Zones
Explanation: AWS Regions are isolated geographic areas composed
of multiple Availability Zones for redundancy and resilience.
Q6. A company needs to ensure high availability and disaster
recovery for critical workloads. Which AWS feature should they
prioritize?
, A. Single Availability Zone deployment
B. Multi-Region architecture
C. Local storage optimization
D. Single EC2 instance scaling
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Multi-Region architecture
Explanation: Multi-Region deployment provides geographic
redundancy, ensuring business continuity during regional failures.
Q7. What is the primary purpose of AWS Edge Locations?
A. Hosting relational databases
B. Running EC2 instances
C. Caching content closer to users
D. Managing IAM roles
Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Caching content closer to users
Explanation: Edge locations are used by CloudFront to cache
content closer to end users, improving performance.
Q8. Which AWS service is designed for serverless compute
execution?
A. Amazon EC2
B. AWS Lambda
C. Amazon VPC
D. Amazon S3
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. AWS Lambda
Explanation: Lambda runs code without provisioning servers,
automatically scaling based on demand.
Q9. A company wants to store data with high durability and low
cost for long-term archival. Which AWS service is best suited?
A. Amazon EBS
B. Amazon S3 Glacier
C. Amazon EC2 Instance Store
D. Amazon RDS
