AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 537

A company runs an application on AWS that performs batch jobs. The application is fault-tolerant and can handle interruptions. The company wants to optimize the cost to run the application.

Which AWS offering will meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon EC2 Spot Instances offer spare compute capacity at steep discounts, making them ideal for fault-tolerant workloads like batch jobs that can tolerate interruptions. Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances are more expensive and do not provide the same cost optimization benefits for interruptible workloads. Amazon Macie is a data security service, and Amazon Neptune is a graph database service, neither of which are compute offerings for running applications.
