AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 22

A company has existing software licenses that it wants to bring to AWS, but the licensing model requires licensing physical cores.
How can the company meet this requirement in the AWS Cloud?

Answer options

• A. Launch an Amazon EC2 instance with default tenancy.
• B. Launch an Amazon EC2 instance on a Dedicated Host.
• C. Create an On-Demand Capacity Reservation.
• D. Purchase Dedicated Reserved Instances.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because launching an Amazon EC2 instance on a Dedicated Host ensures that the physical cores are dedicated to the company’s use, aligning with the licensing requirements. Options A and C do not guarantee the physical core licensing, while D refers to a pricing model rather than a solution for meeting the licensing conditions.
