You are an architect for a company that is going to host an application in AWS. They want to load balance the traffic based on which route the user chooses. The 2 possible routes for the application are /customer and /orders. Which of the following would you include in the design?

Answer options:

A.Application Load Balancer
B.EC2 Container service
C.Classic Load Balancer
D.Docker containers on EC2 Instances

Answer – A
The below snapshot from the AWS Documentation shows the benefits of using the Application Load balancer.
Options B and D are incorrect since we don’t have enough information on the question to decide on whether to use Docker containers or not.
Option C is invalid since Classic Load balancers will not fit the requirement for route-based load balancing.
