To ensure failover capabilities on an elastic network interface (ENI), what should you use for incoming traffic?
A Route53 A record
A secondary private IP
A secondary public IP
A secondary ENI
Explanations:
A Route53 A record is used for DNS routing but does not directly provide failover capabilities for incoming traffic to an ENI. It can help in directing traffic to multiple endpoints but does not ensure automatic failover in case of network issues.
A secondary private IP on the same ENI can be used for failover by allowing multiple IP addresses to be associated with the ENI, enabling seamless traffic redirection without requiring changes to the application layer.
A secondary public IP does not ensure failover capabilities for incoming traffic on its own. It may help in providing additional public-facing addresses, but it does not directly facilitate automatic failover mechanisms like secondary private IPs do.
A secondary ENI can be used for high availability, but it typically requires additional configuration and does not inherently ensure failover for incoming traffic. Using a secondary private IP on the primary ENI is a more straightforward method for failover.
