AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 216

You work for an international corporation that uses AWS. Due to regulations, you are now required to route the US and China to two different websites. You set up the records and now no other countries can access your site.
Why is this?

Answer options

• A. You forgot to set a default geolocation record.
• B. You probably broke your DNS.
• C. You must have a geolocation in place for every country.
• D. Geolocation features are only available in CloudFront.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because without a default geolocation record, requests from countries not specifically addressed will not be routed to any site, leading to access issues. Option B is incorrect as there is no indication of DNS failure in the scenario. Option C is wrong since it is not necessary to have a geolocation record for every country; a default record can handle unspecified locations. Option D is inaccurate because geolocation features are available in various AWS services, not just CloudFront.
