AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 15

Which AWS service can help a company detect an outage of its website servers and redirect users to alternate servers?

Answer options

• A. Amazon CloudFront
• B. Amazon GuardDuty
• C. Amazon Route 53
• D. AWS Trusted Advisor

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon Route 53 is designed for DNS management and can monitor the health of website servers, enabling it to reroute traffic to alternate servers in case of an outage. In contrast, Amazon CloudFront serves as a content delivery network, Amazon GuardDuty provides threat detection, and AWS Trusted Advisor offers recommendations for optimizing AWS resources but does not handle server outages.
