Amazon ANS-C01 Exam - Topic 1 Question 73 Discussion

Question

A company has developed a new web application on AWS. The application runs on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) on AWS Fargate behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in the us-east-1 Region. The application uses Amazon Route 53 to host the DNS records for the domain. The content that is served from the website is mostly static images and files that are not updated frequently. Most of the traffic to the website from end users will originate from the United States. Some traffic will originate from Canada and Europe.

A network engineer needs to design a solution that will reduce latency for end users at the lowest cost. The solution also must ensure that all traffic is encrypted in transit until the traffic reaches the ALB.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Configure the alias record to route to the CloudFront distribution.

D) Configure the ALB to use an AWS Global Accelerator accelerator in us-east-1. Create a secure HTTPS listener. Create a second application stack on Amazon ECS on Fargate in the eu-west-1 Region Create another secure HTTPS listener. Create an alias record in Amazon Route 53 for the custom domain name. Configure the alias record to use a latency-based routing policy to route to the DNS name that is assigned to the accelerator for the ALBs.
