Which Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances term commitment will give users the MOST cost savings?

Answer options

• A. 1 year
• B. 2 years
• C. 3 years
• D. 5 years

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances are available in 1-year or 3-year commitments, where the 3-year term offers the highest discount rate. Terms of 2 years and 5 years are not standard purchasing options for Reserved Instances. Therefore, choosing the 3-year commitment yields the maximum possible cost savings.
