Question

You are serving content from CloudFront. Which of the following happens to an end user's request?

The user's request is routed to the origin server.


The user's request is routed to the nearest edge location.


The user's requests are routed to the edge location in the country from which the request originates.


For countries without edge location, requests are routed to the origin server.

Answer 1

The user's request is "routed to the edge Locations".

Explanation:

CloudFront brings the content using edge locations which are a worldwide association of data centers.

The content request from user serving with CloudFront is routed to the "edge location" which gives the lowest latency, in the way content is conveyed in the best possible performance.

The "DNS service" will route a request from the end-user to the "CloudFront", and CloudFront further will forward it to the "edge location" which brings the best service of the user's request.
