CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 17

A company wants to process a batch job in a faster, cost-effective manner. Which of the following is the BEST solution?

Answer options

• A. Implement right-sizing.
• B. Increase CPU usage.
• C. Utilize spot instances.
• D. Add storage.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The best solution is to utilize spot instances, as they offer significant cost savings for batch jobs by allowing the use of excess computing capacity at a lower price. Implementing right-sizing, increasing CPU usage, and adding storage do not specifically address the need for a faster and more cost-effective processing solution.
