In this paper we study the boundary regularity of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for a class of Monge-Ampère type equations with nonzero boundary conditions. We construct global Hölder estimates for convex solutions to the problem and emphasize that the boundary regularity essentially depends on the convexity of the domain. The proof is based on a careful study of the concept of $ (a,\eta) $ type convex domain and a family of auxiliary functions.

Keywords: Monge-Ampère type equation, Dirichlet problem, convex domain, Hölder estimate, boundary regularity.
