ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
A company is deploying a global application and wants to use AWS Global Accelerator to improve performance. The application runs behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in us-east-1. Which THREE components are part of a Global Accelerator deployment?
⚠ Common exam trap
The ANS-C01 exam often tests the misconception that Global Accelerator uses DNS-based routing like Route 53, but the key differentiator is that Global Accelerator relies on static anycast IPs and edge locations for traffic optimization, not DNS resolution.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Endpoint groups
Endpoint groups are a core component of AWS Global Accelerator that define the AWS Region and traffic routing for a listener. Each endpoint group contains one or more endpoints (such as an ALB, NLB, or EC2 instance) and allows you to control traffic distribution and health checking. In this scenario, the ALB in us-east-1 would be added to an endpoint group associated with that region.
