A live-streaming platform needs global TCP/UDP traffic delivered with the lowest possible latency to a regional endpoint — not HTTP content caching. Which service fits?
A.Amazon CloudFront
CloudFront optimizes HTTP(S) delivery/caching, not arbitrary TCP/UDP.
B.AWS Global Accelerator
Correct. Anycast IPs + backbone routing for non-HTTP traffic.
C.An additional internet gateway
IGWs provide VPC internet access — no global acceleration.
D.Route 53 geolocation routing alone
Geo DNS routes by user location but still traverses the public internet.
Why this answer
Global Accelerator provides static Anycast IPs routing TCP/UDP traffic over AWS's backbone to the optimal regional endpoint — ideal for non-HTTP or latency-critical traffic. CloudFront caches/serves HTTP(S) content at the edge; it isn't a general TCP/UDP accelerator.
