• Replication of data centers across different regions
  • When a user tries to access your application using a domain name, the domain name is resolved to the IP address of the data center that is closest to the user

Demonstrating GeoDNS routing

  • Different data centers could have different local databases and caches.
  • In failover cases, traffic might be routed to a data center where data is unavailable.
    • To avoid this, data is replicated across multiple data centers
