A company is designing a VPC for a web application that will scale horizontally. They want to ensure that the IP addressing scheme can accommodate future growth without redesign. Which approach should they use?

Use multiple VPCs with peering for each tier

Use a single subnet for all resources

Use a small CIDR block (e.g., /28) and rely on NAT for scaling

Use a large CIDR block (e.g., /16) and divide it into smaller subnets for each tier

A company has a global user base and on-premises data centers in multiple regions. They need to provide low-latency access to applications hosted in AWS and also connect their on-premises networks to AWS. Which architecture should they use?

Use multiple VPCs with peering and no global acceleration

Use AWS Global Accelerator for global traffic and AWS Direct Connect for on-premises connectivity

Use Amazon CloudFront for all traffic and AWS Site-to-Site VPN for on-premises connectivity

Use only AWS PrivateLink for global traffic and on-premises connectivity

A company runs a global e-commerce platform with a static product catalog and dynamic user-specific content. They need to reduce latency for users worldwide and offload TLS termination. Which AWS service should they use?

Amazon CloudFront with dynamic content caching

AWS Site-to-Site VPN with edge locations

Amazon Route 53 with latency-based routing

AWS Global Accelerator with static IP addresses

A company has a compliance requirement that data must remain within a specific country. Which resource placement decision is most directly aligned with this requirement?

Choose a VPC with a specific CIDR block

Choose a subnet in a specific Availability Zone

Choose an AWS Region located in that country

Choose an Availability Zone within any Region
