Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
After registering a domain in Amazon Route 53, configuring DNS records is required to map the domain to the hosting resources like an S3 bucket or Elastic Load Balancer. This ensures that users can access the content or applications associated with the domain. While additional features like Domain Lock, ownership verification, or Health Checks are useful, they are not strictly necessary to make the domain functional.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Configuring DNS records like A (for IP addresses) or CNAME (for aliases) is essential to point the domain to the appropriate resources for hosting a website.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Domain Lock is a security feature to prevent unauthorized transfers but is not mandatory for making the domain functional for hosting.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Associating the domain with a hosting resource, such as an S3 bucket for static websites or an Elastic Load Balancer for dynamic applications, is necessary to serve content.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Domain ownership verification is required for certain operations like SSL certificates but not for basic domain functionality after registration.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Setting up a Route 53 Health Check is optional and is used to monitor domain availability, not to make the domain functional for hosting.
