Zorluk: KolayCost-Optimized Compute Selection and Purchasing Strategies

A company runs a legacy application that must run continuously 24/7 on Amazon EC2 instances. The database tier is hosted on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL and also runs continuously. The company wants to make a 3-year commitment to reduce their AWS costs for these resources. Which recommendation should a solutions architect make to achieve the most cost-effective architecture?

  1. Purchase a Compute Savings Plan to cover the Amazon EC2 instances, and purchase Amazon RDS Reserved Instances for the RDS database.Cevap
  2. B
    Purchase a Compute Savings Plan to cover the costs of both the Amazon EC2 instances and the Amazon RDS database.
  3. C
    Migrate the continuous legacy application to AWS Lambda to run 24/7 to minimize compute costs.
  4. D
    Purchase an EC2 Instance Savings Plan to cover the costs of both the Amazon EC2 instances and the Amazon RDS database.

Cevap

Purchase a Compute Savings Plan to cover the Amazon EC2 instances, and purchase Amazon RDS Reserved Instances for the RDS database.
Purchasing a Compute Savings Plan covers the Amazon EC2 instances, while purchasing Amazon RDS Reserved Instances provides a discount for the Amazon RDS database. This combination correctly applies the appropriate purchasing model to each service and maximizes savings over the 3-year term.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the compute requirements for the Amazon EC2 instances and the Amazon RDS database.
Identify that the EC2 instances run continuously and the RDS database also runs continuously.
This determines that long-term commitment models are suitable for both components.
2
Evaluate the scope of Compute Savings Plans and EC2 Instance Savings Plans.
Confirm that Savings Plans apply only to compute services (EC2, Fargate, Lambda) and do not apply to Amazon RDS.
This rules out using Savings Plans to discount the RDS database tier.
3
Select the appropriate purchasing strategies for each service.
Apply Compute Savings Plans to the EC2 instances and purchase RDS Reserved Instances for the RDS database.
This combination maximizes the discount for both resource types based on a 3-year commitment.
