AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 448

A company expanded its web application to serve a worldwide audience. A SysOps administrator has implemented a multi-Region AWS deployment for all production infrastructure. The SysOps administrator must route traffic based on the location of resources.
Which Amazon Route 53 routing policy should the SysOps administrator use to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Geolocation routing policy
• B. Geoproximity routing policy
• C. Latency-based routing policy
• D. Multivalue answer routing policy

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Geoproximity routing policy is designed to route traffic based on the physical location of your resources, allowing you to optionally shift traffic using bias. Geolocation routing differs because it routes traffic based on the user's location rather than the resource's location. Latency-based and multivalue answer routing policies do not route traffic based on the geographic location of resources.
