Which statement is true regarding the number of edge locations compared to regions in AWS?

The statement that there are more edge locations than regions in AWS is accurate. AWS has established a network of edge locations that are part of its Content Delivery Network (CDN), called Amazon CloudFront. These edge locations are strategically positioned around the globe to help deliver content with low latency and high transfer speeds to end users.

In contrast, AWS regions are isolated from each other and consist of multiple Availability Zones, which provide a set environment for deploying applications and services. While AWS continues to expand both its regions and edge locations, the growth of edge locations has been more substantial due to the demand for content delivery and enhanced user experiences around the world. This leads to a situation where there are indeed more edge locations than regions, making the identification of this difference important for understanding how AWS architecturally supports content delivery and user traffic management.

The other statements do not reflect the current scaling nature of AWS infrastructure, as there are clearly more edge locations available to serve content globally compared to the fewer number of AWS regions.
