Question 15

A company is in its second year of a three-year agreement with a cloud vendor. After the initial phase of the cloud migration, resource consumption has stabilized.

Which of the following would help the company reduce the cost of infrastructure?

    Correct Answer: A

    Reserved instances can help the company reduce the cost of infrastructure by providing significant discounts in exchange for a commitment to use specific instances over a period of one to three years. Since the resource consumption has stabilized, reserved instances are a suitable choice because the predictable and steady usage allows the company to benefit from these cost savings.

BlueMan93Option: A

Reserved instances are hardware profiles that your organization commits to, usually for a period of one to three years. CSPs offer significant discounts for such commitments. The instance utilization is predictable and relatively steady. Reserved instances are a great choice for businesses who know that certain virtual machines will always be in use over a period of years.
