Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 736 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional
Question #: 736
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional Questions]

A company that is developing a mobile game is making game assets available in two AWS Regions. Game assets are served from a set of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in each Region. The company requires game assets to be fetched from the closest Region. If game assets become unavailable in the closest Region, they should be fetched from the other Region.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

  • A. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution. Create an origin group with one origin for each ALB. Set one of the origins as primary.
  • B. Create an Amazon Route 53 health check for each ALB. Create a Route 53 failover routing record pointing to the two ALBs. Set the Evaluate Target Health value to Yes.
  • C. Create two Amazon CloudFront distributions, each with one ALB as the origin. Create an Amazon Route 53 failover routing record pointing to the two CloudFront distributions. Set the Evaluate Target Health value to Yes.
  • D. Create an Amazon Route 53 health check for each ALB. Create a Route 53 latency alias record pointing to the two ALBs. Set the Evaluate Target Health value to Yes.

Supporting Jaypdv Yes It's D Failover routing policy – Use when you want to configure active-passive failover. Latency routing policy – Use when you have resources in multiple AWS Regions and you want to route traffic to the region that provides the best latency. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/routing-policy.html

Answer is D. An alias record can have more than 1 entry, contrary to what people are saying here.

it did confuse for sure with CloudFront with OriginSet in the options but Answer is D because the request won't go the nearest Region with CloudFront as every request first lands on Primary.

If the nearest Region's game assets become unavailable, they should be retrieved from the other Region. This is key to answer this question. This concludes me D as right answer.

Either I don't know how it works or all of you are wrong. If you want such sophisticated routing one of the answers should mention Routing Policy. None of them is. A correct - CloudFron: create an origin group with two origins: a primary and a secondary. If the primary origin is unavailable or returns specific HTTP response status codes CloudFront automatically switches to the secondary origin B wrong - "Create a Route 53 failover routing record pointing to the two ALBs" - you have to set failover in each Route 53 record (each ALB) as Primary or Secondary C wrong - "Create an Amazon Route 53 failover routing record pointing to the two CloudFront distributions." - same as above D wrong - "Create a Route 53 latency alias record pointing to the two ALBs" - alias can use only one destination

Additonally for "company requires game assets to be fetched from the closest Region" you would need geoproximity or geolocation. CloudFront will do it for each request based on requestor IP.

This is a badly worded question. A is wrong because "The company requires game assets to be fetched from the closest Region". With A, you always fetch from one ALB. D is wrong because a latency alias record can't point to two ALB. If you think "The company requires game assets to be fetched from the closest Region" really mean touching the closet region, A is correct. If you think a latency alias record really means two records, D is correct.
