Answer options:
A.
Amazon S3, Amazon Route 53, and AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)
B.
Amazon S3, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Route 53, and AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)
C.
Amazon S3, Application Load Balancer (ALB), and AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)
D.
Amazon EC2, Amazon Route 53, and AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)
How to approach this question
Remember that S3 static websites do not support HTTPS natively with custom domains; CloudFront is mandatory.
Full Answer
B.Amazon S3, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Route 53, and AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)✓ Correct
To serve a static website hosted on Amazon S3 with a custom domain over HTTPS, you must use Amazon CloudFront. You request an SSL certificate in AWS ACM (in the us-east-1 region), attach it to the CloudFront distribution, and use Route 53 to point your domain to CloudFront.
Common mistakes
Thinking S3 can natively host HTTPS with a custom domain.
