A company is serving a media-heavy website to users globally. The media files are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket in the us-east-1 Region. The company is experiencing high AWS Data Transfer Out costs. <br/><br/>Which TWO actions should the solutions architect take to reduce these costs? (Select TWO.)

Answer options:

Implement Amazon CloudFront to serve the media files.

Move the S3 bucket to a region with lower data transfer costs.

Ensure the CloudFront distribution uses the S3 bucket as the origin.

Enable S3 Transfer Acceleration.

Use AWS Global Accelerator.

How to approach this question

Identify the service that caches content and has free data transfer from S3.

Full Answer

Amazon CloudFront caches content at edge locations. More importantly, data transfer from Amazon S3 to Amazon CloudFront is free. You only pay for the data transfer from CloudFront to the user, which is generally cheaper than transferring directly from S3 to the internet.

Common mistakes

Selecting S3 Transfer Acceleration, which actually increases costs.
