A sample question
Which TWO actions would help a company reduce its monthly AWS bill? (Select TWO.)
- AStopping or terminating resources that are no longer being used at all.
- BRightsizing instances so their capacity matches actual workload needs.
- CProvisioning every environment at the largest available instance size.
- DLeaving all development environments running continuously overnight.
- EStoring all archival data in the most expensive storage class available.
Removing unused resources and rightsizing instances to actual need both directly reduce spend. Oversizing environments, leaving idle resources running, and using expensive storage classes for archives all increase cost.
