Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 373

What is a reason to choose global load-balancing instead of local load-balancing?

Answer options

• A. Allow requests to be distributed and served in a round-robin fashion.
• B. Load-balance across the infrastructure based on workload.
• C. Promote greater security to the application.
• D. Better serve users based on their location.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because global load-balancing directs traffic based on the geographical location of users, ensuring they connect to the nearest server for optimal performance. Options A and B focus on distribution methods rather than geographic considerations, and option C, while important, does not specifically relate to the advantages of global versus local load-balancing.
