AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 723

A company is migrating to the AWS Cloud and wants to optimize the use of its current software licenses.

Which AWS services, features, or purchasing options can the company use to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. AWS Compute Optimizer
• B. Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts
• C. Savings Plans
• D. AWS License Manager
• E. AWS Budgets

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts allow companies to bring their own eligible software licenses (BYOL) to physical servers dedicated to their use, which is essential for meeting strict licensing terms. AWS License Manager further assists by automating the tracking and management of these third-party licenses to ensure compliance and prevent over-licensing. Other services like AWS Compute Optimizer, Savings Plans, and AWS Budgets focus on resource sizing and cost management rather than software license optimization.
