AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 181

Question

A global gaming company is preparing to launch a new game on AWS. The game runs in multiple AWS Regions on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances. The instances are in an Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in each Region. The company plans to use Amazon Route 53 for DNS services. The DNS configuration must direct users to the Region that is closest to them and must provide automated failover. Which combination of steps should a SysOps administrator take to configure Route 53 to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A, D. The correct answer is A, D. Option A: Create Amazon CloudWatch alarms that monitor the health of the ALB in each Region. Configure Route 53 DNS failover by using a health check that monitors the alarms. Option D: Configure Route 53 geoproximity routing. Specify the Regions that are used for the infrastructure. Amazon Route 53 provides DNS with health checks and routing policies for availability and latency. Amazon CloudWatch collects metrics, logs and alarms to monitor and react to operational health. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance.
