(A company has deployed an application to AWS and a standby instance to its on-premises data center. The on-premises infrastructure is a scaled-down version of the AWS infrastructure. Which routing policy in Route 53 will allow the company to send 75% of the load to AWS and the remaining 25% to its on-premises infrastructure?)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The weighted routing policy in Amazon Route 53 allows the company to distribute traffic with specific percentages, such as 75% to AWS and 25% to the on-premises infrastructure, by assigning weights to each resource record. This enables load balancing across hybrid environments. The WGU Cloud Deployment and Operations Study Guide (Section 3.1, Route 53 Routing Policies) states, 'Weighted routing policy assigns weights to resource record sets (e.g., 75 for AWS, 25 for on-premises), controlling the percentage of traffic directed to each endpoint.' Geolocation, failover, and simple policies do not support percentage-based traffic splitting.

I feel like I might be mixing up the routing policies, but simple routing doesn't seem like it would handle the 75/25 split effectively.

This question reminds me of a practice one we did on traffic distribution, and I believe weighted routing was the answer there too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about geolocation routing being used for directing traffic based on user location, which doesn't seem to fit here.

I think the weighted routing policy is the right choice since it allows you to distribute traffic based on specified weights.
