AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 68

A company owns per-core software licenses.
Which Amazon EC2 instance purchasing option must the company use for this license type?

Answer options

• A. Reserved Instances
• B. Dedicated Hosts
• C. Spot Instances
• D. Dedicated Instances

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Dedicated Hosts, as they allow the company to manage the physical server and ensure compliance with per-core licensing requirements. Other options like Reserved Instances and Spot Instances do not provide the level of control over physical hardware needed for per-core licenses, while Dedicated Instances do not offer the same level of license management as Dedicated Hosts.
