AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 1

After selecting an Amazon EC2 Dedicated Host reservation, which pricing option would provide the largest discount?

Answer options

• A. No upfront payment
• B. Hourly on-demand payment
• C. Partial upfront payment
• D. All upfront payment

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The 'All upfront payment' option provides the largest discount because it involves paying for the entire reservation period in advance, which allows AWS to offer significant savings compared to other payment methods. In contrast, options like 'No upfront payment' and 'Hourly on-demand payment' do not provide these discounts as they involve ongoing or less committed payments.
