AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
A company runs identical web applications behind separate Application Load Balancers in us-east-1 and eu-west-1. Users must be routed to the Region with the lowest latency, but if an ALB becomes unreachable, all traffic should automatically shift to the remaining Region until it is healthy again. Which Route 53 record configuration meets these requirements?
Create two weighted alias records, each with a weight of 50, and associate health checks with each record.
Create a single failover record set with the us-east-1 ALB as primary and the eu-west-1 ALB as secondary, attaching health checks to both records.
Create two latency alias A records that point to the regional ALB DNS names and enable Evaluate Target Health on both records.
Configure geolocation routing that directs European clients to eu-west-1 and all other clients to us-east-1, enabling DNS failover with health checks.
Latency-based routing selects the record whose Region gives the client the lowest RTT. By creating two latency alias A records-one that targets the us-east-1 ALB and another that targets the eu-west-1 ALB-clients are sent to the fastest Region. Enabling Evaluate Target Health on each alias makes Route 53 stop returning the record when the underlying ALB reports itself unhealthy, causing all queries to fail over to the other Region until the load balancer is healthy. A pure failover policy satisfies resiliency but not latency distribution. Weighted routing distributes traffic but ignores latency. Geolocation approximates location-based routing and does not guarantee the lowest latency for every user.
