Question 490
In an AWS networking assessment, an enterprise must customize request headers at the CDN edge before an origin sees the request. Which technical explanation BEST accounts for the observed condition?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Viewer-request transformations are distinct from long-running application logic executed at the origin. This explains the observed network behavior, which can be checked by verifying that the required request header is transformed before the origin receives the allowed request.
Incorrect Answers
A zero-TTL caching configuration forwards origin requests rather than reusing old personalized data. For the stated conditions, viewer-request transformations are distinct from long-running application logic executed at the origin. The more specific mechanism is CloudFront Functions and Lambda@Edge provide edge computation with differing runtimes and capabilities.
A private S3 origin prevents viewers bypassing edge controls through an unrestricted bucket endpoint. The decisive technical distinction is CloudFront Functions and Lambda@Edge provide edge computation with differing runtimes and capabilities; viewer-request transformations are distinct from long-running application logic executed at the origin.
Origin request attributes can be controlled separately from which request fields form the cache key. The decisive technical distinction is CloudFront Functions and Lambda@Edge provide edge computation with differing runtimes and capabilities; viewer-request transformations are distinct from long-running application logic executed at the origin.
