A TCP application is used worldwide and must be reached through fixed IP addresses.
Bring users onto the AWS global network quickly and forward them to a Regional endpoint.
Which service is most appropriate?
AWS Global Accelerator provides static anycast IP addresses and uses the AWS global network to optimize paths to TCP or UDP endpoints.
Detailed explanation
A bucket policy authorizes S3 requests and does not optimize network paths.
