Answer: A.
Global accelerator is a networking service that utilizes AWS global network to optimize the “user to application” path.
The performance benefits realized by the use of the Global accelerator can be tested using a speed comparison tool provided by AWS.
Global accelerator differs from S3 transfer acceleration and DynamoDB accelerator.
S3 transfer acceleration, accelerates the transfers of files to the S3 bucket by utilizing edge locations.
Fully managed DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) is a highly available in-memory cache for Dynamodb.
Option A is CORRECT.
Refer to the explanation above.
Option B is INCORRECT.
Refer to the explanation above.
Option C is INCORRECT.
Refer to the explanation above.
Option D is INCORRECT.
AWS Direct Connect is an AWS offering that simplifies setting up dedicated network connectivity between AWS and on-premises infrastructure.

The service that should be used to monitor the application endpoint health and route traffic to the most appropriate endpoint is Amazon Global Accelerator.
Amazon Global Accelerator is a networking service that improves the availability and performance of applications by providing local or global users with a static anycast IP address. This anycast IP address is associated with multiple application endpoints in one or more AWS regions.
By using Amazon Global Accelerator, you can monitor the health of your application endpoints and automatically route traffic to the most available and responsive endpoint based on proximity, health, and routing policies that you can configure. This results in improved application performance and availability for users.
Amazon DAX accelerator is a caching service that helps to improve the performance of applications by caching frequently accessed data in memory. However, it is not relevant to the requirement of monitoring application endpoint health and routing traffic to the most appropriate endpoint.
Amazon S3 transfer acceleration is a feature that helps to accelerate data transfers to and from Amazon S3 by optimizing the network path between the client and the S3 bucket. It is not relevant to the requirement of monitoring application endpoint health and routing traffic to the most appropriate endpoint.
AWS Direct Connect is a service that provides a dedicated network connection from your on-premises environment to AWS. It is used for scenarios where you need a dedicated, private connection rather than using the public internet. It is not relevant to the requirement of monitoring application endpoint health and routing traffic to the most appropriate endpoint.
Therefore, the best option to use in this scenario is Amazon Global Accelerator.
