Optimizing Video Streaming for European and Asian Users
Question
You have an Azure web app named App1 that streams video content to users. App1 is located in the East US Azure region.
Users in North America stream the video content without any interruption.
Users on Asia and Europe report that the videos buffer often and do not play back smoothly.
You need to recommend a solution to improve video streaming to the European and Asian users.
What should you recommend?

A. B. C. D.B
To improve video streaming for European and Asian users of an Azure web app located in the East US Azure region, the best solution would be to use an Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) endpoint. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a network of servers distributed geographically that work together to provide fast delivery of Internet content. By caching content closer to the users, a CDN reduces latency and ensures a faster and more reliable delivery of content.
In this case, streaming video content from a web app located in the East US Azure region to users in Asia and Europe is likely to be affected by high latency, network congestion, and other performance issues. By configuring an Azure CDN endpoint, the video content will be cached at edge nodes closer to the users, resulting in faster and more reliable delivery of the content.
The other options (A, C, and D) are not the best solutions for this scenario:
A. Scaling out the App Service plan will increase the number of instances running the web app, but it may not improve the performance for users outside the East US region.
C. Azure File Sync is used to synchronize files between an on-premises server and Azure Files. This option is not related to improving video streaming performance.
D. Scaling up the App Service plan will increase the resources allocated to the web app, but it may not improve the performance for users outside the East US region.
