Original practice question

This is the kind of decision CramHQ checks.

Sample question Regional failover health signals

CramHQ runs a public investigation API behind regional load balancers in us-east-1 with a warm standby in us-west-2. During a datastore control-plane issue, the primary Region still accepts TLS connections and has healthy compute, but authenticated searches stall until client retries exhaust. Leadership wants clients sent to the standby only when the primary cannot complete the customer request path. Which recommendation best meets this goal?

  • Configure AWS Global Accelerator endpoint groups for both Application Load Balancers, using accelerator health checks that probe the HTTPS listener on each regional endpoint.
  • Configure the Application Load Balancer target group health check to call a datastore-dependent path, allowing unhealthy targets in the primary Region to be removed from rotation.
  • Configure Amazon Route 53 failover records for the two regional Application Load Balancers, using Route 53 health checks against an authenticated-search readiness endpoint in each Region.Correct
  • Configure Amazon Route 53 alias records with Evaluate Target Health for both Application Load Balancers, relying on target group health checks that verify the web listener responds.
Why this is the answer

The decisive boundary is what the health check proves. Listener or compute health can stay green while the user-visible request path is broken. Route 53 failover with a readiness endpoint can stop returning the primary Region only when authenticated search cannot complete.
