Which purchasing option will meet these requirements?
Compute Savings Plans for 1 year with the No Upfront payment option
Compute Savings Plans for 1 year with the Partial Upfront payment option
EC2 Instance Savings Plans for 1 year with the All Upfront payment option
EC2 Reserved Instances for 1 year with the Partial Upfront payment option
Explanations:
Compute Savings Plans apply to Fargate, EC2, Lambda, and other compute services. However, they are flexible in terms of usage across services. The company is moving to Fargate, and Compute Savings Plans would be the best fit for minimizing costs with flexibility, but the payment option (No Upfront) does not maximize available discounts as much as Partial or All Upfront options.
Compute Savings Plans for 1 year with the Partial Upfront payment option is the most suitable option. The company is transitioning to Fargate, and Compute Savings Plans offer the necessary flexibility for containers, with the Partial Upfront payment ensuring a good balance of discount and flexibility.
EC2 Instance Savings Plans apply only to EC2 instances, not Fargate. Since the company plans to retire EC2 instances and move to Fargate, this option is not relevant to the company’s future needs.
EC2 Reserved Instances apply to EC2 instances, not Fargate. Since the company plans to retire EC2 instances and move to Fargate, this option is not suitable for their needs. Additionally, Reserved Instances have more rigid terms and are not as flexible as Compute Savings Plans.
I surmise that the answer is:
Compute Savings Plans for 1 year with the Partial Upfront payment option
