Explanation
AWS Outposts (D) is correct because it brings native AWS infrastructure, services (including EC2), and APIs to your on-premises data center, satisfying both the EC2 requirement and the compliance need to keep workloads physically on-site.
Why the others are wrong:
- A (Dedicated Instances) - These run on hardware dedicated to a single customer, but still within an AWS Region, not on your premises.
- B (Amazon CloudFront) - A CDN for content delivery; unrelated to running compute workloads on-premises.
- C (AWS Fargate) - A serverless container runtime that runs entirely in AWS-managed infrastructure, not on your premises.
Memory tip: Think of "Outposts" literally - AWS posts its hardware out to your location. Whenever an exam question pairs EC2/AWS services with an on-premises or data residency/compliance requirement, Outposts is almost always the answer.
