Question
A company has developed a new release of a popular video game and wants to make it available for public download. The new release package is approximately 5 GB in size. The company provides downloads for existing releases from a Linux-based, publicly facing FTP site hosted in an on-premises data center. The company expects the new release will be downloaded by users worldwide. The company wants a solution that provides improved download performance and low transfer costs, regardless of a user's location.

Why each option
Provide global, high-performance, low-cost downloads for a 5 GB video game release, moving from an on-premises FTP site to AWS.
Amazon EBS volumes are block storage attached to a single EC2 instance, not suitable for global, scalable public downloads or low-cost transfer, and would require managing EC2 instances for web serving.
Amazon EFS provides shared file storage for EC2 instances, but it's not optimized for public internet distribution, global performance, or low transfer costs for a 5 GB download to worldwide users.
Storing the game files in an Amazon S3 bucket provides highly scalable, durable, and cost-effective storage, while using Amazon CloudFront for distribution caches the content geographically closer to users, improving download performance worldwide and reducing data transfer costs.
While storing files in S3 and using Route 53 for DNS is a good start, this option implicitly lacks the crucial component of Amazon CloudFront, which is essential for improving global download performance and reducing data transfer costs through caching.
Concept tested: Global content delivery with Amazon S3 and CloudFront
