CV0-004 Practice Question: Use a public cloud to host a static website with…
A company plans to use a public cloud to host a static website with minimal configuration. The website content is stored in an object storage bucket. Users access the site via a custom domain name. Which cloud service should the company use to serve the content with low latency globally?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the misconception that a load balancer or DNS round-robin alone can provide global low-latency delivery, when in fact they lack caching and edge distribution, which are essential for static content performance.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Content delivery network (CDN) with the object storage as origin
A CDN caches static content at edge locations worldwide, reducing latency for global users. By configuring the object storage bucket as the origin, the CDN pulls content on cache miss and serves it from the nearest edge node. This meets the requirement of minimal configuration while providing low-latency delivery via a custom domain.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Reverse proxy server in each region
Why it's wrong here
Overly complex for static content.
- ✗
DNS-based round-robin to multiple storage buckets
Why it's wrong here
Does not cache.
- ✗
Load balancer distributing traffic to multiple object storage endpoints
Why it's wrong here
Load balancer is for compute resources.
- ✓
Content delivery network (CDN) with the object storage as origin
Why this is correct
CDN caches content for low latency.
