Question

An online gaming company hosts its platform on Amazon EC2 instances behind Network Load Balancers (NLBs) across multiple AWS Regions. The NLBs can route requests to targets over the internet. The company wants to improve the customer playing experience by reducing end-to-end load time for its global customer base. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

**D. Create a standard accelerator in AWS Global Accelerator with existing NLBs as target endpoints.**

**Why this solves the problem step-by-step:**

1. **Problem**: Global customers experience high latency because their traffic traverses the public internet across potentially many hops to reach the NLBs in specific AWS Regions.

2. **AWS Global Accelerator** provides two static anycast IP addresses that act as a fixed entry point to your application. When a customer sends a request, it enters the **AWS global network at the nearest edge location** (there are 100+ edge locations worldwide).

3. Once on the AWS backbone network, traffic is routed over AWS's private, optimized fiber network instead of the unpredictable public internet. This **reduces latency by up to 60%** in some cases.
