You are managing a project that involves multiple Azure services and need to optimize costs while ensuring the project meets its scalability and compliance requirements. Considering the project's variable workload, which includes periods of high demand followed by low usage, and the need to adhere to strict data compliance standards, how should you approach selecting the most appropriate Azure subscription type and pricing model? Choose the two best options that address both cost efficiency and compliance needs. (Choose two)
A
Select a pay-as-you-go subscription for its flexibility to scale up or down based on demand, ensuring you only pay for what you use during variable workload periods.
B
Opt for an Enterprise Agreement subscription to benefit from volume discounts, assuming the project's budget allows for upfront commitments despite the variable workload.
C
Choose a free tier subscription to minimize costs, ignoring the project's scalability and compliance requirements.
D
Use a subscription with reserved instances for predictable workloads, disregarding the project's variable workload nature.
E
Combine a pay-as-you-go subscription for its flexibility during peak periods with an Enterprise Agreement for baseline workloads to balance cost and compliance needs.
