Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 29 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03
Question #: 29
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A company provides a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service that uses UDP connections. The service consists of Amazon EC2 instances that run in an Auto Scaling group. The company has deployments across multiple AWS Regions.
The company needs to route users to the Region with the lowest latency. The company also needs automated failover between Regions.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A. Deploy a Network Load Balancer (NLB) and an associated target group. Associate the target group with the Auto Scaling group. Use the NLB as an AWS Global Accelerator endpoint in each Region.
  • B. Deploy an Application Load Balancer (ALB) and an associated target group. Associate the target group with the Auto Scaling group. Use the ALB as an AWS Global Accelerator endpoint in each Region.
  • C. Deploy a Network Load Balancer (NLB) and an associated target group. Associate the target group with the Auto Scaling group. Create an Amazon Route 53 latency record that points to aliases for each NLB. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution that uses the latency record as an origin.
  • D. Deploy an Application Load Balancer (ALB) and an associated target group. Associate the target group with the Auto Scaling group. Create an Amazon Route 53 weighted record that points to aliases for each ALB. Deploy an Amazon CloudFront distribution that uses the weighted record as an origin.

agree with A, Global Accelerator has automatic failover and is perfect for this scenario with VoIP https://aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/faqs/

A - Global Accelerator is a good fit for non-HTTP use cases, such as gaming (UDP), IoT (MQTT), or Voice over IP, as well as for HTTP use cases that specifically require static IP addresses or deterministic, fast regional failover. Both services integrate with AWS Shield for DDoS protection.

This is the best case for A to be an answer. Cloudfront is great but for HTTP use cases.

This option does not meet the requirements because AWS Global Accelerator is only used to route traffic to the optimal AWS Region, it does not provide automatic failover between regions.

Instant regional failover: AWS Global Accelerator automatically checks the health of your applications and routes user traffic only to healthy application endpoints. If the health status changes or you make configuration updates, AWS Global Accelerator reacts instantaneously to route your users to the next available endpoint.

Selected Answer: A
CloudFront uses Edge Locations to cache content while Global Accelerator uses Edge Locations to find an optimal pathway to the nearest regional endpoint. CloudFront is designed to handle HTTP protocol meanwhile Global Accelerator is best used for both HTTP and non-HTTP protocols such as TCP and UDP. so i think A is a better answer

The correct answer is A: Deploy a Network Load Balancer (NLB) and an associated target group. Associate the target group with the Auto Scaling group. Use the NLB as an AWS Global Accelerator endpoint in each Region. Key reasons: NLB supports UDP protocol (required for VoIP), while ALB only handles HTTP/HTTPS Global Accelerator provides: Automatic routing to lowest latency region Built-in cross-region failover Optimized network performance via AWS global network

I think this is not a very well written one. What we need: 1, Network Service that handles latency based policy and cross region failover -> Route53 2, A component that route traffic to ASG that are compatible with UDP -> Network Load Balancer.

Selected Answer: A
you can configure a Network Load Balancer (NLB) in each AWS Region to address your on-premises endpoints. Then you can register the NLBs as endpoints in your AWS Global Accelerator configuration. https://aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/faqs/
