Which two actions are necessary for reducing latency when providing access to static content across regions?

Configure CDN and use Azure Blob storage.
Use Azure Table storage and configure CNAME record.
Utilize Azure Traffic Manager alongside Azure Blob storage.
Set custom domain names and place content in Archive tier.

The correct answer is: Configure CDN and use Azure Blob storage.

Configuring a Content Delivery Network (CDN) and using Azure Blob storage are effective actions for reducing latency when providing access to static content across regions. Using a CDN allows for content to be cached in multiple locations worldwide, so when a user requests static content, it can be served from the closest point of presence instead of the origin server. This drastically reduces the time it takes for data to travel across the network, resulting in improved performance and faster load times for users. Azure Blob storage is specifically designed for storing large amounts of unstructured data, such as images, videos, and other static content. By utilizing Blob storage for your static assets, you can leverage the scalability and durability of Azure while ensuring that the content can easily be accessed by the CDN. Combining these two services enables a highly efficient system for serving static content, significantly enhancing the user experience by minimizing latency.
