What are common use cases for traffic flow policies in Amazon Route 53? Can you provide an example of how you’ve used them in a project?
Traffic flow policies in Amazon Route 53 are commonly used for load balancing, latency-based routing, failover, and geolocation routing. These policies help optimize user experience by directing traffic to the most appropriate resources based on various factors.
In a recent project, I utilized traffic flow policies for latency-based routing. The application had users from different geographical locations, and we deployed it across multiple AWS regions. To minimize latency, we created a policy that routed users’ requests to the nearest region with the lowest latency. This improved overall performance and user satisfaction.
