Question 24
Domain 3: Cloud Technology and ServicesWhich storage service can be used as a low-cost option for hosting static websites?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Amazon S3 is designed for object storage and can host static website content such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. Its low-cost, pay-as-you-go model makes it a common choice for “hosting static websites” without needing a web server.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Amazon Glacier.
B. Amazon DynamoDB.
C. Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS).
D. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
Amazon S3 is the AWS object storage service used to store and retrieve files directly, and it includes a static website hosting feature for serving HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and image assets from an S3 bucket. Under the S3 pricing model, you pay only for the storage consumed and requests made, with no need to provision or run an EC2 web server, which is why it is the low-cost hosting choice for static sites.
