AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 489

Which Amazon Route 53 routing policy can a company use to route traffic to multiple resources in specified proportions?

Answer options

• A. Weighted routing policy
• B. Multivalue answer routing policy
• C. Failover routing policy
• D. Latency routing policy

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Weighted routing policy allows you to distribute traffic to multiple resources in specified proportions by assigning relative weights to each resource record set. Multivalue answer routing is used to return multiple IP addresses for simple load balancing, failover routing is designed for active-passive configurations, and latency routing routes traffic based on the lowest network latency.
