For dynamic distribution of network traffic, which service should be utilized?

Computing Service
PaaS
CloudFront
DynamoDB

The correct answer is: CloudFront

CloudFront is designed specifically for the dynamic distribution of network traffic, serving as a content delivery network (CDN). It helps improve user experience by delivering data, videos, applications, and APIs to users with low latency and high transfer speeds. By caching content at various edge locations around the world, CloudFront makes it possible to serve dynamic content more efficiently, reducing the load on the origin servers while also addressing traffic spikes effectively. Using CloudFront can significantly optimize the performance of web applications and static or dynamic content delivery to users. It also offers built-in scalability, which is critical for handling varying levels of traffic without manual intervention or infrastructure changes. The other options do not fulfill the requirements for distributing network traffic dynamically in the same way that CloudFront does. Computing services typically focus on processing power rather than content delivery. PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides a platform for building applications but does not specifically address traffic distribution. DynamoDB, while an efficient database service for handling data, is not designed for the distribution of network traffic.
