AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 132

Which pricing model will interrupt a running Amazon EC2 instance if capacity becomes temporarily unavailable?

Answer options

• A. On-Demand Instances
• B. Standard Reserved Instances
• C. Spot Instances
• D. Convertible Reserved Instances

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Spot Instances, because they can be interrupted when the capacity is no longer available, as they are offered at a lower price in exchange for this risk. The other options, such as On-Demand and Reserved Instances, provide guaranteed availability and are not interrupted under these conditions.
