Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 120 discussion

A company has implemented a self-managed DNS solution on three Amazon EC2 instances behind a Network Load Balancer (NLB) in the us-west-2 Region. Most of the company's users are located in the United States and Europe. The company wants to improve the performance and availability of the solution. The company launches and configures three EC2 instances in the eu-west-1 Region and adds the EC2 instances as targets for a new NLB.
Which solution can the company use to route traffic to all the EC2 instances?

  • A. Create an Amazon Route 53 geolocation routing policy to route requests to one of the two NLBs. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution. Use the Route 53 record as the distribution’s origin.
  • B. Create a standard accelerator in AWS Global Accelerator. Create endpoint groups in us-west-2 and eu-west-1. Add the two NLBs as endpoints for the endpoint groups.
  • C. Attach Elastic IP addresses to the six EC2 instances. Create an Amazon Route 53 geolocation routing policy to route requests to one of the six EC2 instances. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution. Use the Route 53 record as the distribution's origin.
  • D. Replace the two NLBs with two Application Load Balancers (ALBs). Create an Amazon Route 53 latency routing policy to route requests to one of the two ALBs. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution. Use the Route 53 record as the distribution’s origin.

B is the correct one for seld manage DNS If need to use Route53, ALB (layar 7 ) needs to be used as end points for 2 reginal x 3 EC2s, if it the case answer would be the option 4

After reading the discussion I think the right answer is B, as the service they use is DNS it does not make sense using a cloudfront distribution for this. The scenario would be different if the service were HTTP/HTTPS.

Just to complete my previous comment. If the scenario were that the company uses HTTP/HTTPS service, then the correct answer (as the original dokaedu message mentions) would be option D)

Keyword- AWS global accelerator = Super cop (who direct the traffic and give you the best way to reach your destination) Geolocation is use for showing web content as you want to show your web content to particular country or continent. Geolocation has nothing to do with traffic.

Route 53 geolocation has nothing to do with traffic in the sense that it does not affect the amount or speed of traffic that reaches your resources. It only affects how Route 53 responds to DNS queries based on the location of your users.

Option B. Create a standard accelerator in AWS Global Accelerator. Establish endpoint groups in us-west-2 and eu-west-1. Add two NLBs as endpoints of the endpoint group. AWS Global Accelerator is a network service that can provide a global traffic management solution. By creating a standard accelerator in AWS Global Accelerator, you can guide user traffic to the endpoint closest to them, thereby improving the performance and availability of the application. In this case, you can establish endpoint groups in the us-west-2 and eu-west-1 regions, and add two NLBs as endpoints. In this way, no matter where the user is located, their requests will be routed to the EC2 instance closest to them, thereby improving the performance and availability of DNS resolution. In addition, this design can also provide flexibility and scalability to handle a large amount of traffic. Therefore, this solution can meet your needs.

Global Accelerator: AWS Global Accelerator is designed to improve the availability and performance of applications by using static IP addresses (Anycast IPs) and routing traffic over the AWS global network infrastructure. Endpoint Groups: By creating endpoint groups in both the us-west-2 and eu-west-1 Regions, the company can effectively distribute traffic to the NLBs in both Regions. This improves availability and allows traffic to be directed to the closest Region based on latency.

Selected Answer: B
B is the best solution to route traffic to all the EC2 instances across regions. The key reasons are: AWS Global Accelerator allows routing traffic to endpoints in multiple AWS Regions. It uses the AWS global network to optimize availability and performance. Creating an accelerator with endpoint groups in us-west-2 and eu-west-1 allows traffic to be distributed across both regions. Adding the NLBs in each region as endpoints allows the traffic to be routed to the EC2 instances behind them. This provides improved performance and availability compared to just using Route 53 geolocation routing.

Selected Answer: B
Option B offers a global solution by utilizing Global Accelerator. By creating a standard accelerator and configuring endpoint groups in both Regions, the company can route traffic to all the EC2 across multiple regions. Adding the two NLBs as endpoints ensures that traffic is distributed effectively. Option A does not directly address the requirement of routing traffic to all EC2 instances. It focuses on routing based on geolocation and using CloudFront as a distribution, which may not achieve the desired outcome. Option C involves managing Elastic IP addresses and routing based on geolocation. However, it may not provide the same level of performance and availability as AWS Global Accelerator. Option D focuses on ALBs and latency-based routing. While it can be a valid solution, it does not utilize AWS Global Accelerator and may require more configuration and management compared to option B.
