CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 13

An organization plans to keep three of its cloud servers online for another nine months and a fourth server online for a year. The current pricing is $200 per month per server. The cloud provider announced the sale price of $1,500 per year per reserved instance.
Which of the following represents the cost savings by converting all four of the cloud servers to reserved instances?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The total cost for keeping three servers for nine months at $200 per month is $5,400, and the cost for the fourth server for a year is $2,400, totaling $7,800. The cost for reserving all four servers for a year is $6,000 ($1,500 each). The savings are therefore $7,800 - $6,000 = $1,800. The other options do not correctly calculate the savings based on the provided rates.
