AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 140

A company wants to run its workload on Amazon EC2 instances for more than 1 year. This workload will run continuously.

Which option offers a discounted hourly rate compared to the hourly rate of On-Demand Instances?

Answer options

• A. AWS Graviton processor
• B. Dedicated Hosts
• C. EC2 Instance Savings Plans
• D. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling instances

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The EC2 Instance Savings Plans offer significant savings for long-term workloads by providing a lower hourly rate compared to On-Demand Instances. The other options, such as AWS Graviton processor, Dedicated Hosts, and Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling instances, do not inherently provide discounted pricing for long-term use.
