Explanation:
Reserved Instances and Savings Plans are the correct choices because:
Spot Instances: These can be interrupted with 2-minute warning when AWS needs capacity back, so they don't meet the "cannot tolerate interruptions" requirement.
AWS Marketplace subscriptions: These are for software licensing costs, not EC2 instance pricing optimization.
Dedicated Hosts: While they provide physical server isolation, they don't inherently provide cost savings compared to Reserved Instances or Savings Plans for long-term workloads.
Both Reserved Instances and Savings Plans provide the cost optimization needed while ensuring uninterrupted operation for the required 1-year minimum duration.
