Zorluk: OrtaAWS Pricing Models

A smart-grid utility company is deploying a fleet of IoT sensors that report electricity consumption data. The core ingestion server runs continuously 24/724/7 to process this real-time stream. However, once a month, the company runs a complex data aggregation and simulation job that takes exactly 22 hours to complete. This monthly simulation is critical, cannot be interrupted, and must run on a specific day. Which combination of Amazon EC2 pricing models represents the most cost-effective choice for these workloads?

  1. A
    Spot Instances for the core ingestion server, and On-Demand Instances for the monthly simulation job.
  2. Reserved Instances for the core ingestion server, and On-Demand Instances for the monthly simulation job.Cevap
  3. C
    Reserved Instances for the core ingestion server, and Spot Instances for the monthly simulation job.
  4. D
    On-Demand Instances for the core ingestion server, and Dedicated Hosts for the monthly simulation job.

Cevap

Reserved Instances for the core ingestion server, and On-Demand Instances for the monthly simulation job.
The correct option combines Reserved Instances for the steady-state ingestion server and On-Demand Instances for the monthly simulation job. The core ingestion server runs continuously (24/724/7), representing a predictable workload where Reserved Instances offer a significant discount. The monthly simulation is a short, critical, and non-interruptible task. On-Demand Instances provide the required reliability and capacity guarantee for this brief duration without requiring any upfront or long-term commitment.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the core ingestion server workload requirements.
The server runs continuously (24/724/7), representing a predictable, steady-state workload.
Steady-state workloads are best suited for Reserved Instances or Savings Plans to minimize hourly costs.
2
Analyze the monthly simulation job workload requirements.
The job runs for only 22 hours once a month, is critical, and cannot tolerate interruptions.
Because it cannot tolerate interruptions, Spot Instances cannot be used. Because it runs only 22 hours a month, Reserved Instances would be highly wasteful. Therefore, On-Demand Instances are the most cost-effective option for this short-duration, critical task.
3
Combine the optimal pricing models for both workloads.
Reserved Instances for the core ingestion server, and On-Demand Instances for the monthly simulation job.
This combination ensures maximum cost efficiency while meeting the availability and reliability requirements of both workloads.
