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.
