AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) — Question 845
A company has released a new version of its production application. The company's workload uses Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, AWS Fargate, and Amazon SageMaker.
The company wants to cost optimize the workload now that usage is at a steady state. The company wants to cover the most services with the fewest savings plans.
Which combination of savings plans will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
Answer options
- A. Purchase an EC2 Instance Savings Plan for Amazon EC2 and SageMaker.
- B. Purchase a Compute Savings Plan for Amazon EC2, Lambda, and SageMaker.
- C. Purchase a SageMaker Savings Plan.
- D. Purchase a Compute Savings Plan for Lambda, Fargate, and Amazon EC2.
- E. Purchase an EC2 Instance Savings Plan for Amazon EC2 and Fargate.
Correct answer: C, D
Explanation
Compute Savings Plans apply automatically to compute usage across Amazon EC2, AWS Fargate, and AWS Lambda, making them the most efficient way to cover those three services. To cover the remaining service, a SageMaker Savings Plan must be purchased, as SageMaker usage is not covered by Compute Savings Plans. Combining a Compute Savings Plan and a SageMaker Savings Plan covers all four components of the workload with just two plans.
