AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 83

A company recently expanded globally and wants to make its application accessible to users in those geographic locations. The application is deployed on
Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer in an Auto Scaling group. The company needs the ability to shift traffic from resources in one region to another.
What should a solutions architect recommend?

Answer options

• A. Configure an Amazon Route 53 latency routing policy.
• B. Configure an Amazon Route 53 geolocation routing policy.
• C. Configure an Amazon Route 53 geoproximity routing policy.
• D. Configure an Amazon Route 53 multivalue answer routing policy.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Amazon Route 53 geoproximity routing policy allows traffic to be shifted based on the geographic location of users, which is ideal for a global application. Option A is incorrect as latency routing focuses on directing traffic to the region with the lowest latency, not necessarily the best resource. Options B and D do not provide the specific control over geographic location that the company requires.
