Hello Nicklovn,
Good day!
The two solutions—using an Application Load Balancer (ALB) with an Alias Record and configuring Multivalue Answer Routing with Non-Alias Records—are both valid options, but they are not designed to be implemented together. Each solution provides a different approach to improve availability and load balancing.
The ALB solution is better suited for scalable, dynamic environments with automated traffic distribution. At the same time, Multivalue Answer Routing involves configuring Route 53 to return multiple IP addresses of EC2 instances, with optional health checks.
This question is intended to reflect the actual exam scenario, where you need to select appropriate solutions independently, not as a combined setup.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
