A county wants one hostname for citizens but must route /permits, /payments, and /inspections to different microservice target groups. Which load balancer capability fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One city website address, three departments behind the counter—path rules send /permits, /payments, and /inspections to the right desk. That is ALB layer-7 routing, not a random UDP hose.
Full Explanation
Application Load Balancers support HTTP path-based (and host-based) routing so multiple microservices can share one hostname while scaling independently behind separate target groups. Classic Load Balancers lack modern L7 path rule flexibility for this pattern. Global Accelerator does not replace ALB path routing, and CloudFront signed cookies alone do not implement microservice path routing.
