A company needs to run large-scale data analysis jobs that can tolerate interruptions and have flexible completion times. They are looking to minimize costs for their compute resources. Which Amazon EC2 instance purchasing option should they choose to achieve this?
EC2 Spot Instances allow you to use Amazon EC2 computing capacity at significant discounts compared to On-Demand prices. Spot Instances are ideal for workloads that are fault-tolerant and can handle interruptions, such as data analysis and batch processing. On-Demand Instances provide immediate access to compute capacity at standard pricing, which is more costly. Reserved Instances require a long-term commitment for cost savings, suitable for steady-state usage. Dedicated Hosts offer physical servers dedicated to your use, which is more expensive and unnecessary for interruptible workloads.
