Review Mode Set 5, Question 43

[Robert Wyllyam]

Hello,

I’m not sure if the statement “Use AWS Global Accelerator to improve the availability and performance of the applications is incorrect because while AWS Global Accelerator does improve the availability and performance of your applications, it does not inherently provide failover capabilities between regions based on the health of your application.” is correct.

When i go to the Global Accelerator’s Cheat Sheet it says that Global Accelerator actually has a regional failover. Am i missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I have only one more question: the update on the question is gonna change the correct answer or only the explanation?

Is it correct to use Global Accelerator in this case considering the previously provided information?

Hello Robert Wyllyam,

We sincerely apologize for the confusion this may have caused.

While Global Accelerator provides proximity-based routing and automatic failover and offers instant failover and static anycast IPs, it’s more expensive and adds complexity when ALBs already exist. It’s typically recommended when you need static IPs, instant failover, or don’t have ALBs yet. For this scenario with existing ALBs, Route 53 latency routing is the more standard and cost-effective solution.

Since the question does not explicitly mention cost‑effectiveness as a requirement, we will update the options to ensure clarity and avoid potential confusion.

Best regards,
