Your client plans to run a batch processing job every Friday that lasts for 4 hours and is capable of tolerating interruptions. The client wishes to minimize costs. Which compute purchasing option should they use?
Spot Instances are the best option for the client's needs because they offer a cost-effective solution for workloads that are flexible in their running time and can tolerate interruptions. Spot Instances allow users to take advantage of unused EC2 capacity at a discount of up to 90% off On-Demand prices. Reserved Instances are not suitable for such infrequent and short-term use. On-Demand Instances don't provide the same level of cost savings as Spot Instances for interruptible workloads. Savings Plans require a commitment to use a specific amount of computing power over a one or three-year period, which does not align with the client's occasional workload. Dedicated Hosts would be an unnecessary expense given the intermittent nature and tolerance for interruption in the client's workload.
