AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 66

A company wants to make an upfront commitment for continued use of its production Amazon EC2 instances in exchange for a reduced overall cost.
Which pricing options meet these requirements with the LOWEST cost? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Spot Instances
• B. On-Demand Instances
• C. Reserved Instances
• D. Savings Plans
• E. Dedicated Hosts

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers, Reserved Instances and Savings Plans, offer significant cost savings for long-term commitments compared to other options. Spot Instances are variable and not guaranteed, while On-Demand Instances are priced higher due to their flexibility, and Dedicated Hosts do not necessarily reduce costs for standard instance usage.
