ANS-C01 Network Management and Operations Practice Question

Correct answer & explanation

Global Accelerator uses anycast IPs to route traffic to the closest healthy endpoint based on latency and health checks. Endpoint groups contain regional endpoints (e.g., ALBs), and health checks ensure only healthy endpoints receive traffic. Traffic dials allow controlling the proportion of traffic sent to each region but are optional. Option B is incorrect because Global Accelerator does not use weighted routing; it uses latency-based routing. Option C is incorrect because Route 53 latency-based routing is a separate service and not the routing configuration for Global Accelerator; Global Accelerator itself handles proximity. Option D is incorrect because Route 53 geolocation routing is not used with Global Accelerator; Global Accelerator automatically routes to the nearest healthy endpoint without geolocation.
