A company will host a static website on Amazon EC2 instances for global users and needs to minimize latency. Which solution meets this requirement?

The correct solution is to use Amazon CloudFront with the EC2 instances configured as the source. CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service that caches static content at edge locations worldwide, closer to users. This significantly reduces latency for global users by serving content from the nearest edge location instead of directly from the origin EC2 instances. Using EC2 instances in multiple edge locations is incorrect because EC2 instances are deployed in AWS Regions and Availability Zones, not directly in CloudFront edge locations. Using EC2 instances in the same Availability Zone but in different AWS Regions would improve regional redundancy but wouldn't inherently minimize latency for global users as effectively as a CDN. Using EC2 instances in the same Availability Zone but in different AWS accounts provides account isolation but doesn't address global latency optimization.
