A company plans to migrate a publicly accessible TCP-based application into its VPC. The current public endpoint (a hardware appliance) handles up to 3 million requests per second on a nonstandard TCP port with low latency. The company requires the same performance for the new AWS public endpoint. What should a solutions architect recommend?

Correct answer: Deploy a Network Load Balancer (NLB). Configure the NLB to be publicly accessible over the TCP port that the application requires..
Why this is the answer
A Network Load Balancer (NLB) is the best choice for this scenario because it is designed to handle extremely high throughput (millions of requests per second) with ultra-low latency, operating at Layer 4 (TCP/UDP). It can also handle nonstandard TCP ports. This directly addresses the performance requirements of 3 million requests per second and low latency. Application
