Question

A company is developing an application in which IoT devices will report measurements to the AWS Cloud. The application will have millions of end users. The company observes that the IoT devices cannot support DNS resolution. The company needs to implement an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling solution so that the IoT devices can connect to an application endpoint without using DNS. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Options

  • AUse an Application Load Balancer (ALB)-type target group for a Network Load Balancer (NLB).
  • BUse an AWS Global Accelerator accelerator with an Application Load Balancer (ALB) endpoint.
  • CUse a Network Load Balancer (NLB). Create an EC2 Auto Scaling group. Attach the Auto Scaling
  • DUse an AWS Global Accelerator accelerator with a Network Load Balancer (NLB) endpoint.
