[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A company uses AWS Cost Explorer to monitor its AWS costs. The company notices that Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) storage and snapshot costs increase every month. However, the company does not purchase additional EBS storage every month. The company wants to optimize monthly costs for its current storage usage.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

  • A. Use logs in Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor the storage utilization of Amazon EBS. Use Amazon EBS Elastic Volumes to reduce the size of the EBS volumes.
  • B. Use a custom script to monitor space usage. Use Amazon EBS Elastic Volumes to reduce the size of the EBS volumes.
  • C. Delete all expired and unused snapshots to reduce snapshot costs.
  • D. Delete all nonessential snapshots. Use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to create and manage the snapshots according to the company's snapshot policy requirements.

Selected Answer: D
This option involves managing snapshots efficiently to optimize costs with minimal operational overhead. Delete all nonessential snapshots: This reduces costs by eliminating unnecessary snapshot storage. Use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM): DLM can automate the creation and deletion of snapshots based on defined policies. This reduces operational overhead by automating snapshot management according to the company's snapshot policy requirements.

Q says The company wants to optimize monthly costs for its current storage usage. I think they only want to do it once?

I think "optimize monthly costs" include future monthly cost as well, so D is better than C
