Question

A media streaming company hosts its web application in three AWS Regions: us-east-1, eu-west-1, and ap-southeast-1. The company wants users to be automatically directed to the Region that provides the lowest network round-trip time from their location, while also ensuring that if the endpoint in the selected Region becomes unhealthy, users are routed to the next-best-performing healthy Region. All endpoints serve identical content. Which Route 53 configuration meets these requirements with the least operational overhead?

Accepted Answer

Create latency-based routing records for each Regional endpoint and associate a Route 53 health check with each record.

Answer

Create geolocation routing records mapping continents to each Region and associate a health check with each record.

Answer

Create a weighted routing policy with equal weights for the three Regional endpoints and attach health checks to each.

Answer

Create a geoproximity routing policy with bias values adjusted per Region and rely on Route 53 endpoint health monitoring.
