Question 530
In an AWS networking assessment, a retail service must send European users to an endpoint selected by geographic policy even when another AWS Region has lower latency. Which technical explanation BEST accounts for the observed condition?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Geolocation routing is a location-matching policy, not a latency-measurement algorithm. This explains the observed network behavior, which can be checked by verifying that queries from the configured test geographies follow the expected geography mapping.
Incorrect Answers
Signing a hosted zone alone does not establish validation if the parent delegation lacks the needed DS chain. For the stated conditions, geolocation routing is a location-matching policy, not a latency-measurement algorithm. The more specific mechanism is Route 53 geolocation routing can choose a record by a client's resolved geographic location.
VPC DNS does not automatically forward an arbitrary private namespace to on-premises without a rule. The decisive technical distinction is Route 53 geolocation routing can choose a record by a client's resolved geographic location; geolocation routing is a location-matching policy, not a latency-measurement algorithm.
Simple routing alone does not make Route 53 suppress failed records based on application health. That property alone cannot account for the reported symptom; geolocation routing is a location-matching policy, not a latency-measurement algorithm.
