A company in the ap-northeast-1 Region has thousands of AWS Outposts servers at remote locations. Servers regularly download new software releases composed of 100 files, and deployments currently take a long time to complete. The company needs to reduce deployment latency for new releases with the least operational overhead. Which solution meets this requirement?

Correct answer: Create an Amazon S3 bucket in ap-northeast-1. Set up an Amazon CloudFront distribution. Configure the S3 bucket as the origin. Download the software by using signed URLs..
Why this is the answer
The correct solution uses Amazon CloudFront to cache software releases closer to the Outposts servers, reducing latency. CloudFront's global edge network will serve the files from the nearest edge location, improving download speeds for the thousands of remote Outposts. Using signed URLs ensures secure access to the software. The first incorrect option, "CachingDisabled cache policy," defeats the purpose of CloudFront for performance improvement. The second incorrect option, involving a second S3 bucket in us-east-1 and replication, adds unnecessary complexity and cost without directly addressing the latency for Outposts in ap-northeast-1. The third incorrect option, S3 Transfer Acceleration, speeds up uploads to S3, not downloads from S3, making it unsuitable for this use case.
