An AWS-hosted image storage web application uses EC2 instances within an Auto Scaling group, with an Application Load Balancer directing traffic and S3 for image storage. The company seeks a minimal-effort solution to test system requests by directing them to a separate target group for a beta application version. What is the least effort solution?

The company seeks a minimal-effort solution to test system requests by directing them to a separate target group for a beta application version. What is the least effort solution?
Explanation:
Option A is the correct answer. This solution allows the company to direct requests to a separate target group that hosts the new beta version of the application without having to create a new ALB or use additional services such as Amazon Route 53 or Amazon CloudFront. This minimizes complexity and effort by simply updating the ALB routing rule with a condition that looks for a cookie named 'version' with the value 'beta' and updating the test system code to use this cookie. Hence, it meets the requirement with the least effort.
