Correct answer: Enable S3 Transfer Acceleration and upload using the acceleration endpoint..
Why this is the answer
Enabling S3 Transfer Acceleration significantly improves upload speeds for large files over long distances by routing data through AWS edge locations. This optimizes the network path to S3, reducing latency and increasing throughput. CloudFront distributions are primarily for content delivery (downloads), not uploads, and allowing GET requests wouldn't help with upload performance. ElastiCache is a caching service for databases or application data, not for accelerating S3 uploads. AWS Global Accelerator improves application availability and performance by directing traffic to optimal endpoints, but S3 Transfer Acceleration is specifically designed and optimized for accelerating data transfers to and from S3 buckets.
