Question

A company recently completed a successful proof of concept of Amazon WorkSpaces. A solutions architect needs to make the solution highly available across two AWS Regions. Amazon WorkSpaces is deployed in a failover Region, and a hosted zone is deployed in Amazon Route 53. What should the solutions architect do to configure high availability for the solution?

Accepted Answer

Answer A is correct because it satisfies all requirements for cross-Region WorkSpaces high availability:

**1. Connection Alias in BOTH Regions:** Amazon WorkSpaces Cross-Region Redirection requires a connection alias to be created in each Region where WorkSpaces are deployed. The connection alias is a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) that serves as the redirection target. You need one in each Region so that DNS can point users to whichever Region is active.

**2. Association with a directory in EACH Region:** Each connection alias must be associated with a directory in its respective Region. This is critical because WorkSpaces are provisioned against directories (AWS Managed Microsoft AD or AD Connector). Each Region needs its own directory to host and manage the WorkSpaces in that Regi
