ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are benefits of using AWS Global Accelerator? (Choose TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The ANS-C01 exam often tests the misconception that Global Accelerator provides caching or DNS-based load balancing, when in fact it uses anycast IP routing for traffic optimization and does not cache content or rely on DNS resolution for load distribution.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Static anycast IP addresses that serve as a fixed entry point
AWS Global Accelerator uses static anycast IP addresses that serve as a fixed entry point, allowing traffic to enter the AWS global network at the closest edge location. This eliminates the need to update DNS records or client configurations when backend endpoints change, providing a stable endpoint for applications.
