Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A. Launch the Spot Instances up to the maximum capacity of the Auto Scaling group.
  • B. Launch the Spot Instances by using the diversified strategy.
  • C. Launch the Spot Instances by using the capacity optimized strategy.
  • D. Use the Spot Instance advisor to help determine the best Spot allocation strategy.

Selected Answer: C
capacity-optimized strategy automatically analyzes the available Spot capacity pools and selects the pool that provides the highest chance of launching the desired number of instances. Spot Instance Advisor can provide guidance on Spot instance pricing and interruption history, but it does not specifically address the goal of selecting pools with the most availabilit https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/08/new-capacity-optimized-allocation-strategy-for-provisioning-amazon-ec2-spot-instances/

Selected Answer: C
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/cost-optimization-leveraging-ec2-spot-instances/spot-best-practices.html Use the price and capacity optimized allocation strategy. Allocation strategies in EC2 Auto Scaling groups help you to provision your target capacity without the need to manually look for the Spot Instance pools with spare capacity. We recommend using the price-capacity-optimized strategy because this strategy automatically provisions instances from the most-available Spot Instance pools that also have the lowest possible price. Because your Spot Instance capacity is sourced from pools with optimal capacity, this decreases the possibility that your Spot Instances are interrupted. For more information about allocation strategies, see Spot Instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Selected Answer: D
Tip: Deploying your application across many instance types will further enhance availability. Consider using EC2 Autoscaling, which makes diversification across multiple instance types and availability zones easier. We recommend starting with instance types having lower frequency of being interrupted and adding more instance types as you improve your application’s flexibility and fault tolerance. See the Best Practices section for more tips and tricks. The average frequency of interruption across all Regions and instance types is <5%.

I'd like to clarify my answer. After looking at this again, I'd have to conclude that both "C" and "D" could be correct, and I'm leaning towards "C" just because the ONLY criteria is to use pools with the most availability (even if they cost more). Capacity-Optimized: "Strictly selects the deepest pools, but sometimes it can pick high-priced pools even when there are low-priced pools available with marginally less capacity" https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/introducing-price-capacity-optimized-allocation-strategy-for-ec2-spot-instances/
