Which of the following services is classified as an AWS Global Service?

EC2
RDS
CloudFront
VPC

The correct answer is: CloudFront

CloudFront is classified as an AWS Global Service because it is designed to deliver content to users with low latency and high transfer speeds by distributing content through a global network of edge locations. This architecture allows CloudFront to cache copies of content closer to users around the world, ensuring faster access regardless of geographic location. As a CDN (Content Delivery Network), it operates globally and is not confined to a specific region, which distinguishes it from services that are typically limited to regional architecture, such as EC2 and RDS, which are designed to operate within specific AWS regions. Additionally, VPC is inherently regional as it allows users to create isolated networks within a designated AWS region. Thus, CloudFront's ability to serve content globally qualifies it distinctly as an AWS Global Service.
