A N S W E R I S A From AI-AI has spoken: Compute Savings Plans: Applies to any EC2 instance, across different families, sizes, and regions. Offers good flexibility for dynamic workloads with varying instance types. May have a slightly lower discount compared to EC2 Instance Savings Plans. EC2 Instance Savings Plans: Only applies to instances within a specific instance family and region. Provides potentially higher savings for workloads that consistently use a specific instance type. Less flexible if your workload needs to switch between different instance families.

Savings Plans is another flexible pricing model that provides savings of up to 72% on your AWS compute usage. This pricing model offers lower prices on Amazon EC2 instances usage, regardless of instance family, size, OS, tenancy or AWS Region, and also applies to AWS Fargate and AWS Lambda usage. B is correct answer 100000%

Nop, not true. EC2 Instance Savings Plans provide the lowest prices, offering savings up to 72% in exchange for commitment to usage of individual instance families in a Region (e.g. M5 usage in N. Virginia). This automatically reduces your cost on the selected instance family in that region regardless of AZ, size, OS or tenancy. EC2 Instance Savings Plans give you the flexibility to change your usage between instances within a family in that region. For example, you can move from c5.xlarge running Windows to c5.2xlarge running Linux and automatically benefit from the Savings Plan prices. So B is not correct.

Selected Answer: B
Option B, purchasing an EC2 Instance Savings Plan, would be a suitable choice for maximizing cost savings while providing flexibility for a combination of EC2, Fargate, and Lambda instances. EC2 Instance Savings Plans provide significant savings (compared to On-Demand pricing) in exchange for a commitment to a consistent amount of compute usage (measured in $/hr) for a 1 or 3 year term. Key points: EC2 Instance Savings Plans provide flexibility for different instance types (EC2), Fargate, and Lambda vCPU equivalents. This allows you to commit to a certain amount of usage across various compute services. Savings Plans offer flexibility in terms of instance family, size, operating system, and region. This aligns well with the company's requirement to use a combination of operating systems across different AWS Regions. Options A, C, and D are not as well-aligned with the requirement for a combination of EC2, Fargate, and Lambda instances and may not offer the same level of flexibility
