Answer: Add a Route 53 health check for each of the weighted records that received traffic during the recent update.
Amazon Route 53 health checks can actively monitor the health of the endpoints. When health checks are associated with routing records (such as weighted A records), Route 53 will detect unhealthy endpoints and automatically stop resolving queries to them, routing traffic to healthy endpoints instead. This directly resolves the issue where Route 53 continued routing traffic to unhealthy Availability Zone endpoints.

Question #12 A company uses Amazon Route 53 with latency-based routing across multiple AWS Regions to provide resiliency. The company uses Route 53 with latency-based routing to direct traffic to the nearest Region. Within each Region, weighted A records distribute traffic across multiple Availability Zones. During a recent update, some Availability Zone endpoints became unhealthy. Route 53 continued to route traffic to the unhealthy endpoints. The company must prevent this issue from occurring in the future. Which solution will meet this requirement?
A
Add a Route 53 health check for each of the weighted records that received traffic during the recent update.
B
Increase the weight of Route 53 records in the Region where traffic must go during updates.
C
Reconfigure all records to use latency-based routing across all Regions uniformly.
D
Reduce the TTL value for latency-based routing to detect changes more quickly.
