AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional SAP-C02 Practice Question
A company runs an e-commerce application behind identical Application Load Balancers (ALBs) in us-east-1 and eu-west-1. The architecture follows a warm-standby disaster-recovery model: roughly 95 % of customer traffic must go to us-east-1, 5 % must go to eu-west-1 for ongoing readiness tests, and all traffic must fail over automatically to eu-west-1 if the us-east-1 ALB or its target groups become unhealthy. No client-side changes are acceptable when failover occurs.
Which Amazon Route 53 configuration meets these requirements with the least operational effort?
Configure a multi-value answer record set that contains both ALB DNS names and health checks so clients are routed evenly to any healthy endpoint.
Create two weighted alias records that point to the regional ALBs, assign weights of 95 and 5, and enable Evaluate Target Health on both records.
Use two latency-based alias records with health checks on each ALB so Route 53 sends traffic to the lowest-latency healthy Region.
Create a primary and secondary failover alias record set, attach health checks to both, and manually adjust the weights to 95 and 5 during standby testing.
Weighted alias records let you specify a traffic percentage for each endpoint. Setting one record to weight 95 and the other to weight 5 sends about 95 % of DNS queries to the primary Region and 5 % to the standby. When Evaluate Target Health is enabled, Route 53 continuously checks the health of each ALB's target groups; an unhealthy record is removed from responses, so 100 % of new queries are resolved to the healthy Region until the primary recovers. Failover routing cannot distribute only 5 % of traffic to the standby, latency-based routing chooses Regions by RTT rather than fixed percentages, and multi-value answer routing distributes traffic evenly, not 95/5.
