AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 350

A company is deploying an ecommerce application to an AWS Region that is located in France. The company wants users from only France to be able to access the first version of the application. The company plans to add more countries for the next version of the application. A SysOps administrator needs to configure the routing policy in Amazon Route 53.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Use a geoproximity routing policy. Select France as the location in the record.
• B. Use a geolocation routing policy. Select France as the location in the record.
• C. Use an IP-based routing policy. Select all IP addresses that are allocated to France in the record.
• D. Use a geoproximity routing policy. Select all IP addresses that are allocated to France in the record.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Amazon Route 53 geolocation routing allows you to route traffic based on the geographic location of your users, making it the ideal choice for restricting access to users in France. Geoproximity routing is designed to route traffic based on the physical distance to resources rather than strict political boundaries like countries. IP-based routing is inefficient for this scenario because manually maintaining a list of all IP addresses allocated to a specific country is complex and prone to errors.
