Question #1049
Which AWS services are supported by Savings Plans? (Choose two.)
AWS Fargate
Amazon RDS
AWS Lambda
Amazon Redshift
Amazon DynamoDB
Explanation
AWS Savings Plans offer cost savings for compute usage in exchange for a commitment to a consistent amount of usage. The two correct answers are:
- A. AWS Fargate: Covered under Compute Savings Plans, which apply to Fargate's vCPU and memory usage.
- C. AWS Lambda: Covered under Compute Savings Plans, as Lambda's compute duration qualifies.
Other options are incorrect because:
- B. Amazon RDS: Not directly supported; Savings Plans apply to underlying EC2 instances (if applicable), but RDS itself isn't eligible.
- D. Amazon Redshift: Not eligible; Savings Plans do not cover data warehouse services directly.
- E. Amazon DynamoDB: Charges are based on storage/throughput, not compute usage, so Savings Plans don't apply.
Key Takeaway: Savings Plans primarily target compute services like Fargate, Lambda, and EC2, not managed databases or serverless storage services.
