AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 231

A company often does not use all of its current Amazon EC2 capacity to run stateless workloads. The company wants to optimize its EC2 costs.

Which EC2 instance type will meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Spot Instances allow users to bid on unused EC2 capacity, making them a cost-effective option for optimizing expenses, especially for stateless workloads that can tolerate interruptions. Dedicated Instances and Reserved Instances come at a higher cost and do not provide the same level of flexibility and savings as Spot Instances. On-Demand Instances offer flexibility but also at a premium price compared to Spot Instances.
