Question

A media company must serve users in Germany from an application stack hosted in eu-central-1 to comply with data-residency laws, while all other European users should be served from an application stack in eu-west-1. Users must never be routed to a region that violates residency rules, even if it means an error is returned. Which Amazon Route 53 configuration meets these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Create geolocation routing records mapping the Germany country to the eu-central-1 endpoint and a Europe continent record to the eu-west-1 endpoint, with no default record.

Answer

Create latency-based routing records for both endpoints so users are automatically directed to the region with the lowest response time.

Answer

Create weighted routing records that split traffic 50/50 between eu-central-1 and eu-west-1.

Answer

Create geolocation routing records for Germany and Europe, plus a default (*) record pointing to eu-west-1 to catch unmatched queries.
