An online gaming company utilizes Amazon Route 53 to direct traffic to NLBs across various AWS Regions, supporting both TCP and UDP for multiplayer functionality. To enhance performance and reduce latency in anticipation of increased user traffic, which solution should be implemented?
An online gaming company utilizes Amazon Route 53 to direct traffic to NLBs across various AWS Regions, supporting both TCP and UDP for multiplayer functionality. To enhance performance and reduce latency in anticipation of increased user traffic, which solution should be implemented?
Explanation:
The correct answer is C: Add AWS Global Accelerator in front of the NLBs and configure a Global Accelerator endpoint to use the correct listener ports. AWS Global Accelerator improves application performance and reduces latency by leveraging the AWS global network to route traffic to the optimal endpoints. Unlike CloudFront which is designed for HTTP/HTTPS traffic (Answer A), and API Gateway which is more suited for API management (Answer D), Global Accelerator optimizes for both TCP and UDP traffic, making it ideal for a multiplayer gaming application with those requirements. Switching from NLBs to ALBs (Answer B) does not specifically address performance and latency improvements in a global context as effectively as Global Accelerator.
