AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C02) Exam Prep Course - 2021 UPDATED! - Configuring Route 53 Lab

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at AWS Route 53, a managed DNS service. It covers the interface, features like traffic management, and the process of creating hosted zones. The tutorial explains various routing policies, including simple, weighted, latency, failover, geolocation, and multivalue answer routing. It also discusses the importance of health checks and how they can be configured to ensure the availability and performance of DNS services. Route 53 is highlighted as a powerful tool for DNS management, offering more than just basic DNS functionalities.

What is AWS Route 53 primarily used for?

• Providing DNS services

• Hosting virtual machines

• Managing cloud storage

• Monitoring network traffic

Which feature of Route 53 allows directing users to different targets based on parameters?

• Data encryption

• Instance monitoring

• Domain registration

• Traffic management

Why is it important to use a unique domain name within a VPC?

• To enhance security

• To reduce costs

• To increase DNS resolution speed

• To avoid conflicts with public domains

What does the simple routing policy in Route 53 do?

• Routes traffic to the fastest server

• Balances load across multiple servers

• Distributes traffic based on user location

• Performs traditional DNS resolution

How does weighted routing in Route 53 work?

• Distributes traffic randomly

• Distributes traffic based on predefined weights

• Routes traffic to the closest server

• Routes traffic to the server with the least load

What is the purpose of latency routing in Route 53?

• To route traffic to the server with the lowest latency

• To balance traffic evenly across all servers

• To route traffic based on user preferences

• To ensure all servers are equally utilized

What does failover routing in Route 53 ensure?

• Traffic is always routed to the primary server

• Traffic is routed to a backup server if the primary fails

• Traffic is distributed based on server load

• Traffic is routed to the server with the highest bandwidth

How does geolocation routing benefit global AWS deployments?

• By routing traffic to the server with the most resources

• By routing traffic to the server closest to the user

• By routing traffic to the server with the highest uptime

• By routing traffic to the server with the least latency

What is the role of health checks in Route 53?

• To monitor server performance

• To ensure DNS records are up-to-date

• To manage domain registrations

• To evaluate the health of endpoints

Which protocol can be used in Route 53 health checks to verify service availability?

• SNMP

• SMTP

• FTP

• HTTP
