Question 42 of 100 | ← Chapter 10

Q642. An ecommerce company uses Amazon Route 53 as its DNS provider. The company hosts its website on premises and in the AWS Cloud. The company's on-premises data center is near the us-west-1 Region.The company uses the eu-central-1 Region to host the website.The company wants to minimize load time for the website as much as possible.Which solution will meet these requirements?

• A. Set up a geolocation routing policy. Send the traffic that is near us-west-1 to the on-premises data center. Send the traffic that is near eu-central-1 to eu- central-1 ✓
• B. Set up a simple routing policy that routes all traffic that is near eu-central-1 to eu-central-1 and routes all traffic that is near the on-premises data center to the on-premises data center
• C. Set up a latency routing policy Associate the policy with us-west-1
• D. Set up a weighted routing policy. Split the traffic evenly between eu-central-1 and the on-premises data center

Correct Answer: A. Set up a geolocation routing policy. Send the traffic that is near us-west-1 to the on-premises data center. Send the traffic that is near eu-central-1 to eu- central-1

Explanation

To minimize load time for an ecommerce website hosted on premises and in the AWS Cloud, and considering the proximity of the on-premises data center and the desired AWS region, the most suitable solution is:A. Set up a geolocation routing policy. Send the traffic that is near us-west-1 to the on-premises data center. Send the traffic that is near eu-central-1 to eu-central-1. By setting up a geolocation routing policy in Amazon Route 53, you can route traffic based on the geographic location of the user. Since the on-premises data center is near the us-west-1 Region, you can direct traffic from that region to the on-premises data center. Similarly, you can send traffic from the eu- central-1 Region to the AWS region where the website is hosted (eu-central-1). This approach minimizes the load time by routing traffic to the nearest location.Option B is not the best choice for this scenario:B. Setting up a simple routing policy that routes all traffic near eu-central-1 to eu-central-1 and all traffic near the on-premises data center to the on-premises data center is not as optimal as using geolocation routing. It does not take into account the specific geographic proximity and may result in suboptimal routing decisions.Option C is not the best choice either:C. Setting up a latency routing policy associated with us-west-1 does not consider the desired AWS region (eu-central-1) and the proximity of the on-premises data center. It may not provide the most efficient routing based on geographic location.Option D is not the best choice either:D. Setting up a weighted routing policy to split traffic evenly between eu-central-1 and the on-premises data center does not consider the proximity of the on-premises data center and the desired AWS region. It may not result in the most efficient routing based on geographic location. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate solution for minimizing load time for the ecommerce website by using a geolocation routing policy to direct traffic to the nearest location.
