Answer options:

Use Amazon CloudFront to cache the uploads.

Enable S3 Transfer Acceleration on the bucket.

Set up a VPN connection between Australia and us-east-1.

Enable S3 Cross-Region Replication to an Australian bucket.

How to approach this question

For long-distance S3 uploads, S3 Transfer Acceleration is the purpose-built solution.

Full Answer

B.Enable S3 Transfer Acceleration on the bucket.✓ Correct

Enable S3 Transfer Acceleration on the bucket.

Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration enables fast, easy, and secure transfers of files over long distances between your client and an S3 bucket. It takes advantage of Amazon CloudFront's globally distributed edge locations. As data arrives at an edge location, data is routed to Amazon S3 over an optimized network path.

Common mistakes

Choosing CloudFront. While Transfer Acceleration uses CloudFront infrastructure, you must enable the specific 'Transfer Acceleration' feature on the S3 bucket for uploads.
