To meet the requirements of reducing training costs and being cost-effective in an Amazon SageMaker environment, the company should consider the following combination of resources: E. Spot Instances: Spot Instances are spare EC2 instances that are available at a lower cost compared to On-Demand Instances. By using Spot Instances for training, the company can significantly reduce the cost of running SageMaker training jobs. B. Checkpoints: Checkpoints allow the model training process to save the model's current state during training. If the training job is interrupted (e.g., due to a Spot Instance termination), the model can resume from the last saved checkpoint rather than starting from scratch.
