A company has a global application deployed across multiple AWS Regions. Users are routed to the nearest Region using Amazon Route 53. The application uses an Application Load Balancer in each Region. The network team wants to ensure that traffic is always routed to a healthy Region in case of a Regional failure. Which Route 53 routing policy should be used?

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Latency-based routing with health checks
Latency-based routing with health checks. This policy routes traffic to the region with the lowest latency and can automatically failover to a healthy region if health checks fail. Option B (Weighted routing) distributes traffic based on weights, not latency, and does not provide automatic failover based on health. Option C (Simple routing) routes to a single resource and cannot automatically failover. Option D (Failover routing) is a primary/backup setup, not latency-based, so it doesn't consider latency.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Latency-based routing with health checks
Why this is correct
Latency-based routing with health checks is correct because it routes to the region with the lowest latency and uses health checks to automatically failover to a healthy region.
- ✗
Weighted routing
Why it's wrong here
Weighted routing is incorrect because it distributes traffic based on assigned weights, not latency, and does not provide automatic failover based on health.
- ✗
Simple routing
Why it's wrong here
Simple routing is incorrect because it routes to a single resource and cannot automatically failover to another region.
- ✗
Failover routing
Why it's wrong here
Failover routing is incorrect because it is a primary/backup configuration that does not consider latency for routing.
