I'm a little unsure about the failover routing in Route 53. I'll need to review that part carefully to make sure I understand how to properly configure it.

This looks like a straightforward question on risk measurement. I think Value at Risk is the way to go here - it's a well-known metric for quantifying the maximum potential loss on a portfolio.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between state transition testing and use case testing. I'll need to review those techniques to decide which one might be more appropriate here.
