Question 1 Incorrect A media publishing company is using Amazon EC2 instances for running their business-critical applications. These applications have variable compute requirements but high priority, and their continuous availability is essential for the company's operations. The IT team is evaluating strategies to ensure these critical instances have guaranteed capacity, especially during peak times, in addition to optimizing costs through savings plans.
As a Developer Associate, which of the following reserved instance types would you select to ensure capacity reservations for the critical instances?
Explanation:
When you purchase a Reserved Instance for a specific Availability Zone, it's referred to as a Zonal Reserved Instance. Zonal Reserved Instances provide capacity reservations as well as discounts.
Zonal Reserved Instances - A zonal Reserved Instance provides a capacity reservation in the specified Availability Zone. Capacity Reservations enable you to reserve capacity for your Amazon EC2 instances in a specific Availability Zone for any duration. This gives you the ability to create and manage Capacity Reservations independently from the billing discounts offered by Savings Plans or regional Reserved Instances.
