Question

A SysOps administrator needs to configure a caching layer for a read-heavy application that uses an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL database. The application exists across three AWS Regions. Read and write activities occur in the primary Region. In the two secondary Regions, read-only activity occurs on RDS for PostgreSQL cross-Region read replicas. The cache in each Region must consist of the same data to provide a consistent user experience across Regions. Which solution for the caching layer will meet these requirements?
