A gaming company will launch a new internet-facing application in multiple AWS Regions. The application uses both TCP and UDP protocols. The company needs high availability and low latency for global users. Which combination of actions should a solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Correct answer: Create internal Network Load Balancers in front of the application in each Region., Create an AWS Global Accelerator accelerator to route traffic to the load balancers in each Region..
Why this is the answer
The correct options are to create internal Network Load Balancers (NLBs) in front of the application in each Region and create an AWS Global Accelerator accelerator to route traffic to the load balancers. NLBs are suitable because they support both TCP and UDP protocols, offer extremely high performance, and can handle sudden spikes in traffic, which is critical for gaming applications. Global Accelerator provides static IP addresses and uses the AWS global network to route user traffic to the closest healthy endpoint, significantly reducing latency and improving availability for global users. External Application Load Balancers (ALBs) are incorrect because they primarily support HTTP/HTTPS and not UDP, which is required. Amazon Route 53 with a geolocation routing policy would route users to the closest region but does not leverage the AWS global network for performance optimization in the same way Global Accelerator does, and it doesn't provide static IPs. Amazon CloudFront is a CDN and is primarily for caching static content and accelerating dynamic web content, not for direct routing of TCP/UDP gaming traffic.
