A company has released a new version of a website to target an audience in Asia and South America. The website’s media assets are hosted on Amazon S3 and have an Amazon CloudFront distribution to improve end-user performance. However, users are having a poor login experience, the authentication service is only available in the us-east-1 AWS Region.

How can the Solutions Architect improve the login experience and maintain high security and performance with minimal management overhead?

  • Replicate the setup in each new geography and use Amazon Route 53 geo-based routing to route traffic to the AWS Region closest to the users.
  • Use an Amazon Route 53 weighted routing policy to route traffic to the CloudFront distribution. Use CloudFront cached HTTP methods to improve the user login experience.
  • Use Amazon [email protected] attached to the CloudFront viewer request trigger to authenticate and authorize users by maintaining a secure cookie token with a session expiry to improve the user experience in multiple geographies.
  • Replicate the setup in each geography and use Network Load Balancers to route traffic to the authentication service running in the closest region to users.
