A web application runs in eight AWS Regions, each behind an HTTPS-only ALB that uses an ACM certificate. Each Region uses a different domain today. The company wants to present a single new domain globally and minimize latency for end users. Which combination of actions will achieve this? (Choose three.)

Correct answer: Create an alias record for the accelerator in Amazon Route 53 for the new domain., Create a standard accelerator in AWS Global Accelerator. Configure a listener for TCP traffic. Add all the ALBs as targets for the listener., Use ACM to create an SSL/TLS certificate for each Region. Configure all the ALBs to use the certificate in their respective Regions..
Why this is the answer
To present a single global domain with minimized latency, AWS Global Accelerator is the ideal service. A standard accelerator (not custom routing) is appropriate for this use case, as it directs user traffic to the optimal regional endpoint. The listener should be configured for TCP traffic, as Global Accelerator operates at Layer 4, and the ALBs handle the HTTPS (Layer 7) termination. All existing ALBs in each region should be added as targets to the Global Accelerator listener. For the new global domain, an alias record in Route 53 pointing to the Global Accelerator DNS name is necessary to direct traffic. Each regional ALB still requires an ACM certificate in its respective region to handle HTTPS traffic, as Global Accelerator passes traffic through to the ALBs, which then perform TLS termination.
