ExpertAWS SAP-C02 · Question 09 · Domain 1.3: Reliable Architectures
A company is designing a multi-region active-active architecture for a latency-sensitive API. The API is backed by AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway. Data is stored in Amazon DynamoDB. Users should be routed to the closest region, but if a region fails, traffic must automatically failover to the healthy region. Which routing solution provides the FASTEST failover and lowest latency?

Which routing solution provides the FASTEST failover and lowest latency?
Answer options:
Use AWS Global Accelerator with custom routing to API Gateway endpoints in both regions.
Use Amazon Route 53 with latency-based routing and Route 53 health checks.
Deploy Amazon CloudFront with an origin group containing the API Gateways from both regions.
