SOA-C02 Question 253
Select 2Your company operates a global web application hosted on AWS, and you want to direct users to the nearest regional endpoint to minimize latency. Additionally, for users from specific countries, you want to redirect them to custom endpoints tailored to their requirements. Which combination of Route 53 routing policies should you use to achieve this?
- A
Geolocation routing policy
- B
Geoproximity routing policy
- C
Latency-based routing policy
- D
Weighted routing policy
- E
Failover routing policy
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
To route users to the nearest regional endpoint and also redirect specific countries to custom endpoints, you need a combination of Geolocation and Geoproximity routing policies. Geolocation routing handles country-specific requirements, while Geoproximity ensures users are directed to the nearest resource with a bias adjustment for proximity.
- A. Correct.
Geolocation routing policy allows you to route traffic based on the user's location, such as their country or continent, which is suitable for directing specific countries to custom endpoints.
- B. Correct.
Geoproximity routing policy lets you route traffic to resources based on the geographic location of your users and your resources, and you can adjust the bias to favor certain regions. This is ideal for directing users to the nearest regional endpoint.
- C. Incorrect.
Latency-based routing policy is used to route traffic to the endpoint with the lowest latency, but it does not allow for custom rules based on geographic regions or countries.
- D. Incorrect.
Weighted routing policy routes traffic based on assigned weights to different endpoints, but it does not consider geographic location or proximity.
- E. Incorrect.
Failover routing policy is used for disaster recovery scenarios, allowing traffic to failover to a secondary endpoint if the primary one becomes unavailable, but it does not address geographic routing requirements.
