Explanation
In AWS global infrastructure:
-
AWS Regions are geographic areas that contain multiple Availability Zones
-
Availability Zones (AZs) are physically separate data centers within a Region that contain one or more discrete data centers
-
Edge Locations are endpoints for AWS CloudFront (CDN) that cache content closer to users
-
Regional Edge Caches are larger CloudFront locations that sit between your origin server and the edge locations
The correct statement is that Availability Zones contain multiple data centers because:
-
Each Availability Zone is designed as an isolated failure domain
-
AZs consist of one or more discrete data centers with redundant power, networking, and connectivity
-
This design provides high availability and fault tolerance within a Region
The other options are incorrect:
-
Edge locations do NOT contain AWS Regions
-
AWS Regions contain Availability Zones, not Regional edge caches
-
Data centers do NOT contain edge locations (edge locations are separate CDN endpoints)
