A company has web servers in the us-east-1 and eu-west-1 regions. They want to route users to the region that provides the fastest response time. However, due to compliance reasons, all users located in Germany MUST be routed to the eu-west-1 region, regardless of response time. How should Route 53 be configured?

Answer options:

Use Latency routing for all traffic.

Use Geoproximity routing with a bias towards eu-west-1.

Use Geolocation routing for Germany, and Latency routing for the rest of the world.

Use a Multi-Value Answer routing policy.

How to approach this question

Combine Geolocation (strict country routing) with Latency (fastest response).

Full Answer

C.Use Geolocation routing for Germany, and Latency routing for the rest of the world.✓ Correct

Use Geolocation routing for Germany, and Latency routing for the rest of the world.

You can combine Route 53 routing policies. By creating a Geolocation record for Germany pointing to eu-west-1, and Latency records for the default/rest of the world, Route 53 will ensure German users always hit eu-west-1, while others get the lowest latency.

Common mistakes

Confusing Geolocation (strict borders) with Geoproximity (distance/bias).
