AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 142

Question

A gaming company is designing a highly available architecture. The application runs on a modified Linux kernel and supports only UDP-based traffic. The company needs the front-end tier to provide the best possible user experience. That tier must have low latency, route traffic to the nearest edge location, and provide static IP addresses for entry into the application endpoints. What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Configure AWS Global Accelerator to forward requests to a Network Load Balancer. Use Amazon EC2 instances for the application in an EC2 Auto Scaling group. Auto Scaling adjusts capacity automatically to match demand, improving availability and cost efficiency. Amazon EC2 provides resizable virtual servers when you need full control of the operating system. AWS Global Accelerator routes users over the AWS backbone to the optimal endpoint for lower latency and fast failover. By spanning multiple Availability Zones / adding redundancy, this option provides the high availability and resilience required.
