CV0-004 Cloud Architecture and Design Practice Question
A company deploys a multi-region active-active application on AWS. They use Route 53 with a latency routing policy.

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 and failover
Why this is correct
Health checks detect failure and Route 53 can redirect to the next best region, improving availability.
- ✗
Geolocation routing
Why it's wrong here
Geolocation routes based on user location but does not provide failover to another region automatically.
- ✗
Failover routing
Why it's wrong here
Failover routing requires a primary/secondary setup and does not consider latency.
- ✗
Weighted routing
Why it's wrong here
Weighted routing distributes traffic based on weights, not automatic failover.
