Which of the following recommendations would you make to the customer?
Duplicate entries into two different buckets and create two separate CloudFront distributions where S3 access is restricted only to Cloud Front identity
Create a CloudFront distribution with ג€US Europeג€ price class for US/Europe users and a different CloudFront distribution with ג€All Edge Locationsג€ for the remaining users.
Create a CloudFront distribution with S3 access restricted only to the CloudFront identity and partition the blog entry’s location in S3 according to the month it was uploaded to be used with CloudFront behaviors.
Create a CloudFront distribution with Restrict Viewer Access Forward Query string set to true and minimum TTL of 0.
Explanations:
Duplicating entries into two different buckets increases complexity and storage costs. Managing multiple CloudFront distributions for the same content is unnecessary and could lead to synchronization issues.
Using two different CloudFront distributions based on geographic pricing classes does not optimize performance or cache efficiency. It complicates the architecture and may not effectively target user traffic based on the access patterns described.
Creating a CloudFront distribution with S3 access restricted to the CloudFront identity enhances security and performance. Partitioning blog entries in S3 by month allows for efficient caching and management of access patterns, especially since access drops significantly after 6 months.
Setting a minimum TTL of 0 and forwarding query strings can lead to excessive cache misses and increased load on the origin server, negating the benefits of caching. This configuration is not suitable given the access patterns of the blog entries.
I opine that the answer is:
Create a CloudFront distribution with S3 access restricted only to the CloudFront identity and partition the blog entry’s location in S3 according to the month it was uploaded to be used with CloudFront behaviors.
