Question 740
AWS routing choices need to meet data-plane scaling requirements. The team confirms that cloudFront edge requests still use an origin that is located far from customers despite caching disabled. Which next design step is best?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The scenario identifies this requirement: CloudFront edge requests still use an origin that is located far from customers despite caching disabled. Select Configure proper cache key/TTL for cacheable responses as the specified technical mechanism. Cache policies determine edge hit ratio. This response addresses the problem described rather than a different design goal.
Incorrect Answers
Correct address planning or use appropriate private service translation would help if hybrid on-prem announces a route that conflicts with a VPC CIDR. Overlapping networks complicate straightforward routing. That is not the symptom described here: cloudFront edge requests still use an origin that is located far from customers despite caching disabled. The matching response is Configure proper cache key/TTL for cacheable responses, because cache policies determine edge hit ratio.
For the alternative failure a private API must remain reachable to another account without sharing all VPC CIDRs, the control Use PrivateLink service/consumer endpoints is relevant: privateLink exposes a bounded service privately. Here the evidence instead is cloudFront edge requests still use an origin that is located far from customers despite caching disabled. The selected technical mechanism is Configure proper cache key/TTL for cacheable responses: cache policies determine edge hit ratio.
Assign public address only to approved public hosts or route through NAT for private hosts solves a different operational problem where an EC2 instance has a default route to the IGW but lacks a public IP. Internet gateway egress requires a routable public address on the source. It does not directly address cloudFront edge requests still use an origin that is located far from customers despite caching disabled. The case calls for Configure proper cache key/TTL for cacheable responses, since cache policies determine edge hit ratio.
