Which routing policy setup should you use?

hard📝 Best Practice Q15 of 15
AWS - Route 53
You want to route 70% of traffic to a primary server and 30% to a backup server, but also ensure users connect to the lowest latency server within those groups. Which routing policy setup should you use?
AUse latency routing only with weights assigned
BUse simple routing with latency routing
CUse weighted routing with latency routing inside each weight group
DUse weighted routing only without latency
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand combined routing needs

    You want to split traffic by weight, then route users to lowest latency server within each group.
  2. Step 2: Identify correct routing policy combination

    Weighted routing controls traffic percentage, latency routing directs users to fastest server inside each weighted group.
  3. Step 3: Eliminate incorrect options

    Simple routing cannot split traffic; latency routing alone can't assign weights; weighted routing alone ignores latency.
  4. Final Answer:

    Use weighted routing with latency routing inside each weight group -> Option C
  5. Quick Check:

    Combine weighted + latency for split and speed [OK]
Quick Trick: Combine weighted and latency routing for split and speed [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Trying to use simple routing for traffic split
  • Ignoring latency inside weighted groups
  • Assuming latency routing can split traffic by weight
