Question 136

A company runs workloads on 90 Amazon EC2 instances in the eu-west-1 Region in an AWS account. In 2 months, the company will migrate the workloads from eu-west-1 to the eu-west-3 Region.

The company needs to reduce the cost of the EC2 instances. The company is willing to make a 1-year commitment that will begin next week. The company must choose an EC2 instance purchasing option that will provide discounts for the 90 EC2 instances regardless of Region during the 1-year period.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

    Correct Answer: D

    The company should purchase a Compute Savings Plan. Compute Savings Plans provide the most flexibility and apply to EC2 instance usage regardless of instance family, size, Availability Zone, Region, operating system, or tenancy, which suits the company's requirement to migrate workloads between regions during the commitment period. This type of plan also offers significant cost savings similar to Reserved Instances.

Christina666Option: D

Compute Savings Plans provide the most flexibility and help to reduce your costs by up to 66% (just like Convertible RIs). These plans automatically apply to EC2 instance usage regardless of instance family, size, AZ, Region, operating system, or tenancy, and also apply to Fargate and Lambda usage. For example, with Compute Savings Plans, you can change from C4 to M5 instances, shift a workload from EU (Ireland) to Europe (London), or move a workload from Amazon EC2 to Fargate or Lambda at any time and automatically continue to pay the Savings Plans price.

EC2 Instance Savings Plans provide the lowest prices, offering savings up to 72% (just like Standard RIs) in exchange for commitment to usage of individual instance families in a Region (for example, M5 usage in N. Virginia). https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/cost-optimization-reservation-models/savings-plans.html

B: Purchase an EC2 Instance Savings Plan Coverage Across Regions: EC2 Instance Savings Plans provide flexibility in terms of instance type and Region, allowing coverage for instances running in any AWS Region. Commitment Term: EC2 Instance Savings Plans offer a 1-year term, which aligns with the company's requirement for a 1-year commitment. Savings Benefit: Savings Plans provide discounts based on your usage, regardless of instance family, size, AZ, or Region. This means as long as the instances are running within the scope of the Savings Plan, they will benefit from the discount, even when migrated from eu-west-1 to eu-west-3.
