Question
An online gaming company hosts its platform on Amazon EC2 instances behind Network Load Balancers (NLBs) across multiple AWS Regions. The NLBs can route requests to targets overthe internet. The company wants to improve the customer playing experience by reducing end-to-end load time for its global customer base. Which solution will meet these requirements?
Options
- ACreate Application Load Balancers (ALBs) in each Region to replace the existing NLBs. Register
- BConfigure Amazon Route 53 to route equally weighted traffic to the NLBs in each Region.
- CCreate additional NLBs and EC2 instances in other Regions where the company has large
- DCreate a standard accelerator in AWS Global Accelerator. Configure the existing NLBs as target

Explanation
The company wants to reduce end-to-end load time for its global customer base.AWS Global Acceleratorprovides a network optimization service that reduces latency by routing traffic to the nearest AWS edge locations, improving the user experience for globally distributed customers. AWS Global Accelerator: Global Acceleratorimproves the performance of your applications by routing traffic through AWS's global network infrastructure. This reduces the number of hops and latency compared to using the public internet. By creating astandard acceleratorand configuring the existing NLBs as target endpoints, Global Accelerator ensures that traffic from users around the world is routed to the nearest AWS edge location and then through optimized paths to the NLBs in each region. This significantly improves end-to-end load time for global customers. Why Not the Other Options?: Option A (ALBs instead of NLBs): ALBs are designed for HTTP/HTTPS traffic and provide layer 7 features, but they wouldn't solve the latency issue for a global customer base. The key problem here is latency, and Global Accelerator is specifically designed to address that. Option B (Route 53 weighted routing): Route 53 can route traffic to different regions, but it doesn't optimize network performance. It simply balances traffic between endpoints without improving Option C (Additional NLBs in more regions): This could potentially improve latency but would require setting up infrastructure in multiple regions. Global Accelerator is a simpler and more efficient solution that leverages AWS's existing global network.
