A gaming company hosts a browser-based application on AWS.The users of the application consume a large number of videos and images that are stored in Amazon S3.This content is the same for all users.The application has increased in popularity, and millions of users worldwide accessing these media files.The company wants to provide the files to the users while reducing the load on the origin.

Which solution meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Deploy an AWS Global Accelerator accelerator in front of the web servers.

Deploy an Amazon CloudFront web distribution in front of the S3 bucket.

Deploy an Amazon ElastiCache for Redis instance in front of the web servers.

Deploy an Amazon ElastiCache for Memcached instance in front of the web servers.

Explanations:

AWS Global Accelerator improves availability and performance but does not cache static content, leading to higher origin load and cost.

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that caches static content from S3, reducing load on the origin and improving access speed for users worldwide.

ElastiCache for Redis is designed for caching database queries and not specifically for serving static content like videos and images, which does not address the requirement effectively.

ElastiCache for Memcached is also not suited for serving static content and primarily benefits database query performance, not media delivery.
