ANS-C01 Network Design Practice Question
Which THREE of the following are valid considerations when designing a multi-Region active-active application using AWS Global Accelerator?
⚠ Common exam trap
AWS often tests the misconception that Global Accelerator provides per-Region unique static IPs, but the trap here is that the static IPs are global anycast addresses, not Regional, and candidates may confuse sticky sessions with Global Accelerator's lack of session affinity.
Answer choices
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
✓
You can assign different weights to endpoints in different Regions to control traffic distribution.
AWS Global Accelerator allows you to assign different weights to endpoints in different Regions, enabling granular control over traffic distribution for active-active architectures. This is achieved through endpoint group weights, where you can adjust the proportion of traffic sent to each Regional endpoint group, supporting scenarios like gradual rollouts or load balancing across Regions.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Global Accelerator supports sticky sessions (session affinity) based on client IP.
Why it's wrong here
Sticky sessions are not a feature of Global Accelerator.
- ✓
You can assign different weights to endpoints in different Regions to control traffic distribution.
Why this is correct
Weights allow traffic splitting across endpoints.
- ✓
Global Accelerator performs health checks on endpoints and routes traffic only to healthy endpoints.
Why this is correct
Health checks enable automatic failover.
- ✓
Global Accelerator can preserve the client IP address when using Network Load Balancer as an endpoint.
Why this is correct
When using NLB, client IPs are preserved.
- ✗
Global Accelerator provides a set of static IP addresses that are unique to each Region.
Why it's wrong here
Static IPs are anycast from the edge locations, not per-Region.
