A company anticipates a consistent load for a new web application, with occasional spikes during seasonal events. They require a balance between cost savings and flexibility for their EC2 instances. Which purchasing option aligns with their needs while optimizing for cost?
Rely solely on Spot Instances for the cheapest possible option, dealing with interruptions during spikes by using automatic scaling.
Opt for a combination of Reserved Instances for baseline capacity and On-Demand Instances for handling load spikes to ensure cost-effectiveness and flexibility.
Employ a Savings Plan to cover both consistent load and spikes, understanding that it may be difficult to perfectly match usage to the commitment.
Commit fully to Reserved Instances to gain maximum long-term discounts and manage spikes within the reserved capacity.
