A
A steady-state workload that requires a particular EC2 instance configuration for a long period of time
B
A cost-sensitive workload that can be interrupted
C
A steady-state workload that does not require a long-term commitment
D
A cost-sensitive workload that cannot be interrupted
Explanation:
Amazon EC2 Spot Instances are ideal for cost-sensitive workloads that can be interrupted because:
-
Spot Instances provide up to 90% discount compared to On-Demand pricing
-
They can be interrupted when Amazon needs the capacity back
-
Perfect for flexible, fault-tolerant applications like batch processing, data analysis, CI/CD, and containerized workloads
-
Not suitable for critical applications that cannot tolerate interruptions
Steady-state workloads requiring long-term commitments are better suited for Reserved Instances or Savings Plans, while workloads that cannot be interrupted should use On-Demand Instances.
