A citizen API is deployed in us-east-1 and us-west-2. The architect wants DNS to send each user to the Region that currently offers the lower latency. Which Route 53 policy fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Latency-based routing is the traffic cop that points each citizen toward whichever Regional API answers snappier from where they stand—no manual hosts files on phones.
Full Explanation
Amazon Route 53 latency-based routing steers users to the Regional endpoint with the lowest measured latency, improving performance for multi-Region API stacks. A single static IP ignores Regional performance. Intentionally weighting to the slower Region or managing phone hosts files are not scalable performance designs.
