Explanation

Selecting the two correct combinations of a network or delivery service and its role.

  • 1AWS network or delivery service and its roleCorrectly map the roles of CloudFront / Route 53 / Direct Connect / ELB
ACorrect

Amazon CloudFront - a CDN that caches content at edge locations and delivers it with low latency.

Correct. Amazon CloudFront is a CDN that caches content at edge locations and delivers it with low latency.

BIncorrect

Amazon Route 53 - a load balancer that distributes incoming traffic across multiple EC2 instances.

Distributing traffic across multiple instances is Elastic Load Balancing.

Route 53 is a DNS service, so the description is wrong and this is incorrect.

CCorrect

AWS Direct Connect - connects on-premises and AWS over a dedicated line.

Correct. AWS Direct Connect connects on-premises and AWS over a dedicated line that does not traverse the internet, providing stable bandwidth and low latency.

DIncorrect

Elastic Load Balancing - a DNS that resolves domain names into IP addresses.

The DNS that resolves domain names into IP addresses is Amazon Route 53.

ELB is a load balancer, so the description is wrong and this is incorrect.

EIncorrect

AWS Direct Connect - builds an encrypted tunnel over the internet within a few minutes.

Quickly building an encrypted tunnel over the internet is the description of AWS Site-to-Site VPN.

AWS Direct Connect is a dedicated line connection that does not traverse the internet and requires physical arrangements to provision. The characteristics are swapped, so it is incorrect.

Key Takeaway

Mapping: CloudFront = CDN (delivery) / Route 53 = DNS / ELB = load balancing / Direct Connect = dedicated line / Site-to-Site VPN = encrypted connection. Swapping roles is a classic trap.
