AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
An organization is deploying a web application that relies primarily on delivering static content with minimal dynamic data processing. To optimize for cost while still providing the required compute resources, which Amazon EC2 instance type would be BEST suited for this application?
When the primary task is to deliver static content, a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources is usually sufficient. T3 instances are designed as burstable general-purpose instances that provide a baseline level of CPU performance with the ability to burst CPU usage at any time for as long as required, making them cost-efficient choices for workloads with moderate CPUs that can spike temporarily. For the web application described, where the demand on CPU resources is not constant or predictably high but may experience occasional spikes, a t3.medium instance is likely to offer an optimal balance between cost and capability.
