Explanation
For short-term workloads (6 months in this case), On-Demand Instances are the most cost-effective option because:
-
Spot Instances are suitable for fault-tolerant, flexible workloads but can be interrupted with short notice
-
Reserved Instances (both No Upfront and Partial Upfront) require 1-3 year commitments to achieve cost savings
-
On-Demand Instances provide maximum flexibility with no long-term commitment, making them ideal for short-term projects
Since the requirement is only for 6 months, the discount from Reserved Instances wouldn't justify the upfront commitment, and Spot Instances carry interruption risks that may not be acceptable for production workloads.
