AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 110

A company has a test AWS environment. A company is planning on testing an application within AWS. The application testing can be interrupted and does not need to run continuously.
Which Amazon EC2 purchasing option will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Spot Instances are the most cost-effective option for applications that can handle interruptions, as they allow users to take advantage of unused EC2 capacity at significantly reduced prices. On-Demand Instances incur higher costs for continuous usage, while Dedicated Instances and Reserved Instances involve higher commitments that are unnecessary for temporary testing environments.
