AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) - Configuring Route 53 Lab

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at AWS Route 53, a managed DNS service. It covers the basics of DNS management, domain registration, and the Route 53 interface. The tutorial explains how to create hosted zones and discusses various routing policies, including simple, weighted, latency, failover, and geolocation. It also highlights the use of health checks and multi-value answer routing. The video concludes by emphasizing Route 53's advanced features, such as load balancing and geolocation, which extend beyond traditional DNS services.

What is the primary function of AWS Route 53?

• To manage AWS storage

• To monitor AWS security

• To provide DNS services

• To manage AWS billing

Which feature of Route 53 allows you to direct traffic based on various parameters?

• Domain Registration

• Content Delivery

• Traffic Management

• Instance Monitoring

What is a hosted zone in Route 53?

• A physical server location

• A container for DNS records

Why is it important to use a unique domain name for internal DNS?

• To enhance security

• To avoid conflicts with public domains

• To increase DNS resolution speed

• To reduce AWS costs

What does the simple routing policy in Route 53 do?

• Performs traditional DNS resolution

• Routes traffic based on geolocation

• Directs traffic based on latency

• Balances load across servers

How does weighted routing in Route 53 work?

• It routes traffic to the closest server

• It distributes traffic based on assigned weights

• It checks server health before routing

• It uses geolocation to route traffic

What is the purpose of latency routing in Route 53?

• To route traffic based on user location

• To route traffic based on server health

• To distribute traffic evenly across all servers

• To route traffic to the server with the lowest latency

Which routing policy in Route 53 uses user location to determine the best server?

• Geolocation Routing

• Weighted Routing

• Failover Routing

• Simple Routing

What is a health check in Route 53 used for?

• To configure security settings

• To monitor AWS billing

• To manage DNS records

• To check the availability of a server

What advanced feature does Route 53 offer beyond basic DNS services?

• Clustered load balancing

• User authentication
