Q

How does the Simple Routing Policy work?

A
  • It routes traffic to a single resource.
  • If multiple values are returned, a random one is chosen.
  • Cannot be associated with Health Checks
17
Q

How does the Weighted Routing Policy work?

A
  • It allows you to assign a % of requests to each specific resource
  • Can be associated with Health Checks
18
Q

How does the Latency Routing Policy work?

A
  • It redirects traffic to the resource that has the least latency close to us
19
Q

How does the Failover Routing Policy work?

A
  • It uses the mandatory health check to check the resource is healthy.
  • If not, it fails over to the secondary resource
20
Q

How does the Geolocation Routing Policy work?

A
  • It routes based on the users location
21
Q

How does the Geoproximity Routing Policy work?

A
  • It routes based on the geographic location of the users and resources
  • You have the ability to shift more traffic to resources based on the defined bias
  • You must use the Route53 Traffic Flow
22
Q

How does the Multi Value Routing Policy work?

A
  • It routes traffic to multiple resources
