A gaming company is building a global Voice over IP application that must be highly available with automated failover across AWS Regions. The company wants to minimize user latency without relying on IP address caching on user devices. What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

Correct answer: Use AWS Global Accelerator with health checks..
Why this is the answer
AWS Global Accelerator provides static IP addresses as a fixed entry point to your application, routing user traffic to the optimal AWS Region based on network conditions and user location. With health checks, it automatically fails over to the next healthy endpoint in another region, ensuring high availability and minimizing latency without relying on DNS caching. Amazon Route 53 with geolocation routing could direct users to the nearest region, but it relies on DNS resolution, which can be cached by client devices, delaying failover. Amazon CloudFront is a CDN primarily for caching content, not for routing real-time application traffic across regions for low-latency VoIP. An Application Load Balancer operates within a single region and cannot provide global failover across regions.
