A company's image-hosting website gives users around the world the ability to up load, view, and download images from their mobile devices. The company currently hosts the static website in an…

Configuring an Amazon CloudFront distribution for the S3 bucket improves download performance by caching content at edge locations globally, and enabling S3 Transfer Acceleration for the bucket simultaneously improves upload performance by leveraging CloudFront's edge network to accelerate data ingress to S3, offering the most comprehensive solution with minimal implementation effort.

Migrating a static image-hosting website to EC2 instances in multiple regions is an overly complex and high-effort architectural change that is unnecessary when S3 and CDN features are sufficient.

While a CloudFront distribution effectively improves download performance, this solution does not address the reported latency issues for *uploads*, which is a critical part of the problem.

AWS Global Accelerator optimizes network performance for applications by routing traffic to optimal AWS endpoints, but S3 Transfer Acceleration and CloudFront are more direct and often more cost-effective services specifically tailored for accelerating data transfers to and from S3 and for static content delivery.
