AWS - Elastic Load Balancing

You want to route HTTP traffic to two different target groups based on URL path: /images/* to one group and /api/* to another. Which AWS service feature should you use?

AElastic IP addresses assigned to each target group

BNetwork Load Balancer with static IP routing

CApplication Load Balancer with path-based routing rules

DClassic Load Balancer with SSL termination

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify routing needs
Routing based on URL path requires path-based routing rules.
Step 2: Match AWS service feature
Application Load Balancer supports path-based routing to different target groups.
Step 3: Exclude incorrect options
Network Load Balancer does not support path-based routing; Classic Load Balancer lacks this feature; Elastic IPs do not route traffic by path.
Final Answer:
Application Load Balancer with path-based routing rules -> Option C
Quick Check:
Path-based routing = Application Load Balancer [OK]

Quick Trick: Use ALB for URL path routing to target groups [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Using Network Load Balancer for path routing
Confusing Classic Load Balancer features
Thinking Elastic IPs control routing rules
