A company is releasing a new 5 GB game package for public download. Currently it serves previous releases from a Linux-based public FTP site in an on-premises datacenter. The company expects global downloads and wants improved download performance and low transfer costs for users worldwide. Which solution best meets these goals?

The correct solution leverages Amazon S3 for highly durable and scalable storage, and Amazon CloudFront, a global content delivery network (CDN), to cache the game package closer to users worldwide. This significantly improves download performance by reducing latency and offloads traffic from the origin, leading to lower transfer costs. Route 53 provides reliable DNS resolution. Hosting on EBS or EFS with EC2 instances running FTP (options 1 and 2) is less scalable, introduces more operational overhead, and won't provide the global performance benefits of a CDN. While S3 with website hosting is good, enabling Requester Pays (option 4) shifts data transfer costs to the user, which is generally undesirable for public downloads and doesn't improve performance.
