Question

A media company must serve users in Germany from an EU-based origin to comply with data residency regulations, regardless of which endpoint offers the lowest network latency. Users everywhere else should be directed to the nearest of three regional endpoints for the best performance. Which Route 53 configuration meets both requirements?

Accepted Answer

Create a geolocation routing policy with a record for Germany pointing to the EU endpoint, and use latency-based records within a broader configuration for all other locations plus a default record.

Answer

Use latency-based routing for all endpoints and rely on AWS to keep German traffic within the EU region.

Answer

Use weighted routing, assigning 100% weight to the EU endpoint for German users and distributing remaining weight across other endpoints.

Answer

Use a geoproximity routing policy with a positive bias applied to the EU endpoint so all traffic prefers it.
