An e-commerce company hosts its product images and static assets in cloud object storage. Customers in Europe and Asia report slow page load times, while customers in North America (where the primary data center is located) have no issues. The company wants to improve load times for all customers without moving the primary storage. Which solution should the company implement?

Deploy a content delivery network (CDN)

Enable compression on the object storage

Increase the performance tier of the object storage

Migrate the object storage to a different region

What is the primary purpose of a content delivery network (CDN)?

To provide long-term archival storage for rarely accessed data

To create backups of data for disaster recovery

To cache content at edge locations closer to users to reduce latency

A cloud storage engineer is designing a backup solution for a large database. The database is 10 TB and contains a mix of text data and already-compressed binary data (e.g., images). The engineer wants to minimize storage costs and backup time. The backup solution supports both compression and deduplication. Which approach should the engineer take?

Disable both and rely on capacity on demand

Enable both compression and deduplication
