True or False: Amazon's Glacier service functions as a Content Distribution Network integrated with S3.

True
False
Only for certain types of files
Only used with data transfers

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false because Amazon Glacier is not a Content Distribution Network (CDN); rather, it is primarily designed for long-term data archival and backup. Glacier allows users to store data that is infrequently accessed and can tolerate retrieval times in the range of minutes to hours. While Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a storage service that can integrate with a CDN like Amazon CloudFront to deliver content with low latency, Glacier serves a different purpose. It offers a low-cost storage option for data that does not require quick access. The distinction between these services is crucial for understanding their specific use cases. Thus, the answer being false accurately reflects the nature of Amazon Glacier as a solution for data retention rather than as a network service that facilitates rapid content distribution.
