You are working as an AWS Architect for a start-up company. The company has web-servers deployed in all AZ’s in the AWS eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) region. These web servers provide news for users from Germany. The application is deployed in multiple EC2 servers with several static IP addresses and you need to create a record set for the application. How would you configure the record set in Route 53?

Answer options:

A.Latency routing policy
B.Weighted routing policy
C.Multivalue answer routing policy
D.Geolocation routing policy

Correct Answer – C
When Route 53 is configured with Multi-value answer routing, it returns multiple values for web-servers. Route 53 responds to DNS queries with up to eight healthy records. Traffic is approximately load-balanced between these multiple web-servers.
Option A is incorrect. Latency routing policy is used when multiple resources are mapped with a single domain & the resource with the best latency to the resource is provided. Since most of the time, these servers will be accessing locally from the German region, latency to the web servers will be approximately the same. 
Option B is incorrect. Weighted routing policy is used when multiple resources are mapped with a single domain & you need to route traffic in a weighted proportionate to each resource. As in this case, the requirement is to use all web servers randomly, the weighted routing policy will not be an ideal option.
Option D is incorrect as the Geolocation routing policy is used to choose resources based upon the user`s location. In this case, all users will be Germany-based. So there would not be random selection on the resource.
